Time is running out to take advantage of this fantastic scheme
East Hampshire businesses can take on new employees for six-months at no cost thanks to funded work placements launched by East Hampshire District Council and the Department for Work and Pensions. 

The programme, called Kickstart, is looking for ten local businesses from any sector who are able to offer new placement roles.  

EHDC will financially support each business for the duration of the placement, while Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will work closely with employers to ensure each placement is a success. 

The DWP’s Employer Advisors will see the right candidates matched to the right roles and provide ongoing support to both the employer and employee. 

To qualify for the scheme businesses must be offering new roles, not replacements for existing jobs, and they must not put existing employees at risk or disadvantage. 

This collaborative initiative aims to improve employment outcomes for local residents while supporting businesses in East Hampshire with workforce development. 

Please submit your expression of interest to sarah.flamson@easthants.gov.uk with the following information
