Lewisham Action Team are the Outreach Branch of Jobcentreplus.
On their behalf, I am currently trying to establish new community partnership links and outreach opportunities in the Sydenham and Forest Hill areas.
At present we work from 9 static sites and a Mobile Unit that cover 14 of the local authority wards, supporting disadvantaged customers find sustainable employment. We offer a community based service for customers who are unemployed or in receipt of qualifying benefits other than Job Seekers Allowance.
Action Team are a voluntary programme providing services parallel to that of Jobcentreplus, offering long-term support with a greater degree of flexibility over the duration and frequency of appointments. We have numerous links with other voluntary and statutory organisations within the Borough, enabling us to signpost customers to other services effectively.
