Chester Road Jobs Club is held every Thursday from 10am to 12 noon at Chester Road Baptist Church. It is a free of charge drop in session with no appointment necessary. We have IT access, support from work coaches and volunteers. We make the sessions as accessible as possible to remove barriers of access and inequality. We find that many of our attendees have mild learning difficulties and/or mental health issues. We have larger screened computer monitors available to aide mild visual impairment. We also have wheelchair access. We support the clients with access to their Universal Credit accounts, setting up email accounts, job searching and using search engines, applying for jobs, CV building, writing letters of application, interview techniques as well as signposting clients for specific needs such as mental health issues, bereavement support, housing, substance advice etc.
We also run a jobs club session at Six Ways Erdington Baptist Church (B24 8AD) on Wednesdays between 10 am and 12 pm, as well as George Road Baptist Church (B23 7YR) on Tuesdays between 12pm and 2 pm.
