ways2work
Our inclusive service is available to all residents of the City of Bristol,
delivering a range of resources to assist individuals (particularly those that
are isolated), employers and providers. We use a coordinated approach referring
participants to local providers where appropriate, using the existing Ways2Work
network (and others) to ‘join the system’. We provide personalised employment
support that meets the needs of both the work ready and those with complex
barriers preventing them from entering the job market. We offer assistance to
employers to help them match the right people to the right jobs and guidance on
how to be inclusive employers. Employers and providers are offered opportunities
to promote their organisations and the chance to share insights into how they
can help. Steering Group and Planning Groups In order to deliver the best
service possible One Front Door works with local providers, forming planning
groups that help us connect to, and better understand, Bristol’s isolated
communities. We also have an experienced steering group, comprised of
representatives from different organisations across the city, that offers us
guidance on strategy and direction. We are part of Bristol City Council’s
Employment, Skills and Learning team.
