About our programmes

In2Work

In2Work

As part of the Journey to Work programme, we are launching our new In2Work project for anyone over the age of 24 who has been employed until recently but lost their job due to the pandemic and needs a bit of support to get themselves back into work. We can help with anything from CVs to job applications and provide links with employers with opportunities and any other advice you need.

Y Wish Youth Works

Y-Wish for 18-24 year olds

A physical Youth Employment Support Hub in Horsham town's Swan Walk shopping centre has now opened. Y-WISH is designed to help 18-24-year olds with finding work, training or careers advice. We have friendly youth advisors to help you with whatever advice or guidance you need. We are initially offering this support on an appointment-only basis but hope to operate as a drop-in hub from June 21st.

About Journey to Work

Journey to Work is Horsham District Council’s long running and successful employability programme. Working in partnership with Jobcentre Plus, we help unemployed people through challenges they may be facing in their lives, and support them on their Journey to Work.

Since Journey to Work started in January 2012, we have supported nearly 1000 job seekers in various ways. These include improving confidence, helping with financial challenges, providing work experience placements and helping search and apply for jobs. In the past 8 years, Journey to Work has helped nearly 500 people find work.

  • If you are currently receiving employment benefits then ask your Jobcentre Plus adviser to refer you. If you don't receive benefits but would like some support please contact us via email at Journey2Work@horsham.gov.uk
