Restart Scheme
The Serco Restart Scheme team host a range of events suitable for all those involved in the scheme. For Participants these include jobs fairs with local and national employers, as well as opportunities to meet employers with current vacancies, and insights into specific industries.
Serco colleagues and Restart Scheme Providers are invited to online sessions that focus on common barriers faced by participants looking to gain employment. These sessions are often presented by services who inform on a subject and promote their services to enable collaborative working. Previous sessions focussed on substance misuse, money and pensions advice, MAPPA awareness, unconscious bias training and the menopause. The knowledge they gain from these events can be applied in their day-to-day roles and help inform decisions.
If you are interested in presenting your business and services at one of our events, please contact restartschemeevents@serco.com
The purpose of the Restart Scheme Local Engagement Meeting (LEM) is to have a regular strategic forum in place for all parties to communicate the service integration and local priority activities that are being undertaken by each organisation.
In March 2023, the Serco Restart Scheme hosted its first in-person Local Engagement Meetings across the Wales and West Central areas since the start of the Scheme in 2021. Read more here.
