Introduction
There are just under 25,000 people claiming Jobseekers Allowance in South Yorkshire.
There is a great deal of competition for each job vacancy so it is essential you have the
right jobsearch skills.
Vacancies are now advertised in a number of places with many employers now
advertising online. It is important you know which websites to look at, ensure you have
an up to date CV and you are confident attaching your CV to an email.
You may also require support creating a CV, Careers Advice if you are unsure which
jobs are available, or assistance with completing online applications.
If you are applying for jobs and you are not getting much success you may need support
in overcoming barriers preventing you getting work. The Jobcentre can offer advice and
sign post you to relevant training or support.
Common barriers include:
-problems with reading, writing, numeracy
-no CV, email address, contact number
-lacking qualifications or occupational certificates
-lack of work experience
-lack of Jobsearch/IT skills

Back to Work Support-To access some of the support you will need to be in receipt of benefits,
Work Trials
A Work Trial is linked to a vacancy. The vacancy has to last at least 6 months. It enables you to try out
the job to ensure it is suitable. It also gives you an opportunity to show the employer your qualities and
skills. A trial can last between 1-15 days depending on the type of vacancy. You will stay in receipt of
benefit during the trial and will receive travel expenses. Ask at your local office for self marketing letters
you can send to prospective employers.
Work Experience
Work Experience will enable you to volunteer for placements lasting between 2 and 8 weeks. You will be
matched with suitable host employers. All travel and childcare expenses are covered on the placement.
The benefits of attending a work placement include gaining valuable work experience and new skills,
filling gaps on a CV and providing you with an up to date work reference. Some placements have
resulted in the employer keeping the individual on a permanent basis. Ask a member of staff for a list of
opportunities and self marketing letters you can send to prospective employers.
Voluntary Work
We can help you source a placement through a local provider or by logging on to www.do-it.org.uk .
You will need to inform us when you start any voluntary work.

Working less than 16 hours
Many of these part time jobs go unfilled. In certain circumstances, you can work less than 16 hours and
still be entitled to benefit. We will take into account the wage you earn and work out what Jobseekers
Allowance and Council/Housing benefit you would be entitled to. It is important you consider these jobs as
they offer valuable work experience, a work reference and there may be a chance the employer could offer
more hours.
As a rule if you work 16 hours or more your claim for Jobseekers Allowance would cease. However
depending on the hours worked you could still be entitled to Housing/Council Tax benefit. The more you
earn the less support will be available. You will need a Better Off Calculation to accurately assess this.
www.thesouthyorkshire4jobshub.wordpress.com
Jobseekers can subscribe to our free weekly newsletter giving them up to date information on jobs and
training opportunities. It is vital we get new information to you as quickly as possible enabling you to
access current vacancies and training to help you secure employment. You can also view our Twitter
page, live vacancies and view Match South Yorkshire online.
To view the newsletter and to view other updates please register your email address atwww.thesouthyorkshire4jobshub.wordpress.com
Local Online Centres
Many employers are now asking applicants to apply online. You will also require an email address to
register on Universal Jobmatch at www.gov.uk/jobsearch . This can be very difficult if you do not have a
computer or have never used one before. There are a number of Local Online Centres across South
Yorkshire. You can drop in to these centres to use the internet on a regular basis. Many centres also offer
IT training to enable you to successfully apply for jobs online. You can pick up a list form your local
Jobcentre or log on to www.ukonline.co.uk
Self Employment (New Enterprise Allowance (NEA))
NEA supports the creation of a business under any structure as long as you have a genuine aspiration to
build a sustainable business. Through NEA, you will receive the support of a local business mentoring
organisation that is responsible for assessing the quality of your business idea and its suitability for support
through NEA.
Financial support, in the form of a weekly allowance or start-up loan is only available to you when you end
your claim to Jobseekers Allowance to commence trading on a full-time basis (i.e. 16 hours or more per
week). NEA weekly allowance (subject to meeting certain criteria) of £65 is available for the first 13 weeks
of trading followed by a weekly allowance of £33 for the next 13 weeks. It is disregarded by Her Majesty’s
Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for income tax, National Insurance (but not Class 2 contributions) and tax
credit purposes. It will also be disregarded for the purposes of Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit and
child maintenance.

Understanding the job market
TIPS:
When looking for new employment you need to understand the job
market in your current and/or chosen area.

Check the internet sites
daily or register your details
in a search notification
section

Ask friends and relatives to
tell you about any jobs they
hear of

Check the local papers and
free press for job vacancies
Where to look for your next job
 Internet – this is fast becoming the primary place for vacancies, a
selection of employment websites are listed on the next page.
 Recruitment agencies – many employers turn to these to
complete initial selection processes. Don’t just rely on one
agency - register with a few to ensure your CV is as widely seen
as possible. Be careful to check if you would be liable for paying
fees before you register.
 Newspapers and trade journals – find out what day your local
and national newspapers advertise jobs and look out for
specialised journals in your field of work.
 Jobcentre Plus - you can view vacancies placed on our website
at www.gov.uk/jobsearch .Most Jobcentres now give access to
the internet. If you cannot access the internet you can phone
Jobseeker Direct on 0845 60 60 234
 Approaching employers directly - many jobs are never
advertised. That’s why you need to make speculative
applications using a good CV.
 Word of mouth – ask family and friends, many careers are
secured through people we know giving tip offs to upcoming
vacancies.
 Volunteering - you may wish to gain experience in a new career
or keep active whilst looking for paid employment. Opportunities
can be found at www.do-it.org.uk/ or www.volunteering.org.uk/
 Social Media- Many employers are now using Facebook and
Twitter to advertise vacancies. It is essential you know how to use
these Social Media applications. Many jobseekers also use
Linked In which is widely used for networking purposes
Back to contents page-Ctrl and click
9
Employment Websites
TIPS
 You may need to register on a website before they will let you submit an
application
 Some employers will use multiple sites, so check you’re not applying for the
same job twice
 Don’t expect the same level of courtesy from a website. You may get only an
automatic acknowledgement and then hear nothing
 Check social media sites too like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+

Social Media
In the same way that you can use networking events, friends and family to find a job, you can use online
social media sites such as Twitter and Linkedin to find useful leads, hunt for vacancies, and market
yourself to prospective employers. Using social media you should be able to:
 Identify the main players in the career sectors that interest you and the projects they are currently
working on
 Find the key contacts in each organisation
 Access job postings
 Build your own personal online presence or brand, which can help to set you apart from other
candidates, who may have similar qualifications and experience
Employers use social media to recruit because:
 It offers the opportunity to promote their opportunities, quickly and cheaply!
 They can communicate with potential applicants and find out more about the applicant.
 They look for people with a professional image, good communication skills and who seem to fit
both personally and professionally with the job requirements.
Read about how employers use social networks to recruit http://wigisocial.com/employers-use-socialmedia-for-job-recruiting-infographic/
This hand out gives an introduction to some of the key social media sites. It is important though to use
platforms that are relevant to your interests and the sector you are looking to enter.
Getting started
Your online presence is as important as your physical profile (CV), so how are you currently represented
online? What is your online personal brand? To find out look at www.onlineidcalculator.com (which shows
how you are represented on Google and gives advice on pro-actively managing your brand online) and
www.martinwoods.me.uk/social-profile-checking-tool (a simple Excel tool designed to help graduates and
other job seekers research their digital footprint).
LinkedIn
www.linkedin.com
This is the largest professional networking site, with over 175 million members worldwide, which provides
opportunities to network with professionals from all kinds of employment sectors, regional groups and
institutions. Use Linkedin to:
 Find out more about employers/companies of interest – you can use information gained in your
future applications and interviews
 See the latest topics being discussed within your sector and to contribute your own
 Search for professionals by job and sector for speculative approaches for both work experience
and employment.
 Gain access to job postings
Network with professionals
23
The most important part of LinkedIn is your personal profile – your profile is how you get found on
LinkedIn and how you connect with other people. It is where you build your brand. You need to include
your education, experience and skills and pay attention to your spelling and grammar. You need to
have a completely filled out profile so that recruiters take you seriously.
Join industry groups to connect with employers in your sector of interest and get involved in
discussions to get your name known.
Twitter
www.twitter.com
What is Twitter?
•
•
•
•
Twitter is an online Social Networking service that enables it’s users to send and read short, textbased posts known as “Tweets".
Each “Tweet” has a limit of 140 characters, including spaces.
Because the character limit is small, a lot of tweets contain web links to other internet sites.
It was created in America in 2006, and has gone on to have over 500 million registered users, and
become part of everyday culture across the World.
Who uses it and why?
•
•
•
Many well known figures such as politicians, sportsmen and celebrities use Twitter as a means of
keeping in touch with, and communicating information to the public and their fans.
Many companies and organisations also have Twitter accounts, promoting everything from
competitions, offers, etc.
It used for these reasons by so many, because it is a quick, simple and effective way of
communicating to a mass audience.
How does Jobcentre Plus use Twitter?
In South Yorkshire we currently have 6 Twitter accounts;
Barnsley- www.twitter.com/barnsleyjcp
Doncaster- www.twitter.com/DoncasterJCP
Dearne Valley- www.twitter.com/DearneValleyJCP
Rotherham- www.twitter.com/JCPRotherham
Sheffield- www.twitter.com/Sheffield4Jobs
The above accounts are aimed at jobseekers. These are our main accounts which we use to share
vacancies and news with customers. We follow many different Agencies, Employers, Providers and more.
This creates a constant stream of content that we can look through and share any vacancies or information
that is relevant to our Customers.
Match South Yorkshire Support Guide Back to contents page-Ctrl and click
24
@EmploySY is aimed at Employers. This is an account that we set up last year, but have recently relaunched. Unlike @Sheffield4Jobs this account is not aimed at customers, but Employers. We aim to
use it to promote our services to both small and large employers, and hopefully use it to open up
communication with them in order to not just find vacancies, but also create Work Experience and
more.
How would Twitter help your job search?
As well as following us, you can follow other local jobcentres and organisations, plus employers or
agencies that are relevant to the area of work you are looking for. A lot of these companies and agencies
tweet vacancies, meaning that between Jobcentre Plus and the rest, you will create a stream of vacancies
and information that is tailored to your own needs.
You can also link to your Linkedin profile so that graduate recruiters can find out more about you. It’s
important to have a strong profile and several Tweets under your belt before you start truly utilising Twitter
for job hunting. Don’t just retweet what others are saying, create meaningful content that people care
about. Once you have done this, use Twitter for job hunting by:



Following the companies you want to work for and watching out for job listings, while also
interacting via Twitter with employees who work there.
Looking for vacancies at www.twitjobsearch.com and www.tweetmyjobs.com. Employers often
tweet about job vacancies before the adverts are posted online. Use the hashtag #job along with
your desired job role and locate to find vacancies.
Using Twellow www.twellow.com where you can find lists of people by area of expertise, profession
or other attributes as listed in their personal profiles on Twitter. Also look at ‘Job Hunting Guide with
Twitter’ http://is.gd/6poUhc
How much does it cost to use Twitter?
Apart from your usual internet charges, Twitter is 100% FREE for everyone to use.
•
•
•
There is no joining fee.
Sending and receiving “tweets” is free.
There is no annual registration charge.
How to access Twitter
As well as the website, Twitter has phone applications that all Smartphones, iPhones, Blackberrys, etc
support. Once again these are all 100% FREE. This means you can keep up to date with the very latest
vacancies and news wherever and whenever.
How do set up an account?
As long as you have a working email address, setting up an account is easy. You simply need to go to
www.twitter.com click on “Sign Up”, and follow the step by step instructions.

Facebook
www.facebook.com
Many jobseekers use Facebook to network for personal or social reasons, this is different from the professional
networking you will be doing to make contacts and find jobs. Employers and professional groups use Facebook
to promote their vacancies or their brand and this can provide useful information for you for applications or
interviews. But beware, employers sometimes view the Facebook sites of prospective candidates, so set your
privacy settings at the highest possible and make sure that your profile photo is suitable for an employer to
view. Make sure that your online presence does not lose you the job.
Blogs
Blogs are a good way to get insight into an organisation; some larger organisations let their graduate trainees,
work placement or intern students’ blog about their experiences.
To find suitable blogs make a Google search with the name of the company and then blog e.g. BP blog or the
name of the career you wish to go into e.g. “sport development blog”. Start by reading other people’s blogs and
commenting on them before starting to write yourself.
Sites such as Wordpress, Tumblr and Blogger have made it much more accessible to write a blog. Writing your
own blog will demonstrate your enthusiasm for and knowledge in particular career area, as well as your
communication skills (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/guides/how-to-get-a-blog ).

Apprenticeships
You can view current opportunities at www.apprenticeships.gov.uk or contact
08000 150 400 - For local opportunities
www.notgoingtouni.co.uk- Apprenticeships and Vocational Training Guide
If you are interested in an Apprenticeship please contact our Apprenticeship Advisers
Sheffield - Dee Rose on 0114 2033034 or [email protected]
Rotherham – Chris Evison on 01709 791002 or [email protected]
Barnsley- David Callon on 01226 263123 [email protected]
Doncaster-Diane Bradley on 01302 503775 [email protected]
Apprenticeships are available for anyone aged 16 and over. There are over 180 different
Apprenticeships frameworks on offer in 80 different sectors. However, all Apprenticeships include the
following elements:



An appropriate work-based qualification such as a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) at either
Level 2 or Level 3;
Key Skills qualifications, e.g. working in teams, problem-solving, communication and using new
technology;
A technical qualification such as a BTEC or City & Guilds (relevant to the specific Apprenticeship);
An Apprenticeship is a form of vocational training enabling people to earn while they learn the skills
necessary to succeed in their chosen career. Apprentices gain key transferable skills - like working in
teams, problem-solving, communication and using new technology as well as studying (in most cases)
for a technical certificate, which provides further knowledge and understanding of the relevant job.
Apprenticeships combine on and off the job training – on the job an apprentice will work with a mentor
learning skills on site and working towards a work based qualification such as a National Vocational
Qualification (NVQ). Off the job, apprentices spend time with a learning provider, working towards a
technical qualification such as a BTEC. Both qualifications are usually at Level 2 or 3.
The amount of time spent studying varies; it can be anything from 100 to 1,000 hours over the course of
an Apprenticeship, depending on the sector.
Training Costs
While you are on an Apprenticeship, your employer pays you a salary and supports you whilst you
undertake your training. Most of the training is ‘on the job’ within the workplace, however the rest can
be provided by a local college or by a specialist learning provider or in some cases it could all be
undertaken by your employer.
Match South Yorkshire Support Guide
27
The National Apprenticeship Service will pay the costs of your training depending on your age.
Age 16-18- 100% Contribution from National Apprenticeship Service
Age 19-24- 50% Contribution from National Apprenticeship Service, 50% Employer Contribution
Age 25+ 100% Employer Contribution, no contribution from National Apprenticeship Service
Wages
All apprentices will be paid a minimum of £2.68 per hour. However, as skills develop, many employers
tend to increase wages – in fact, research has found that apprentices earn an average of £170 net pay
per week
The new apprentice National Minimum Wage applies to all 16 to 18 year olds and to those aged 19
and over in the first year of their Apprenticeship.
If you reach age 19 and have completed the first year of your Apprenticeship your employer must pay
you at least the full National Minimum Wage rate for those aged 18 to 20.
If you are already 19 and have completed the first year of your Apprenticeship you must be paid at
least the National Minimum Wage rate for your age.
Apprenticeship Grant for Employers of 16 to 24 year olds (AGE 16 to 24)
The AGE 16 to 24 is aimed at helping eligible employers to offer young people employment through
the Apprenticeship programme, by providing wage grants to assist employers in recruiting a young
apprentice.
The National Apprenticeship Service will provide up to 40,000 Apprenticeship grants to employers with
up to 1000 employees recruiting 16 to 24 year olds with a value of £1,500, to encourage employers to
take on new apprentices.
The £1,500 is in addition to the training costs of the Apprenticeship framework which are met in full for
young people aged 16 to 18 and 50% for those aged 19 to 24.
Eligible employers are those who have never employed an apprentice before or who have not been in
a position within the last 12 months to commit to employing an apprentice again.
Very large employers (more than 1000 employees) are not eligible for support through this initiative.
But we do want to encourage take up within their supply chains.
Free Travel Pass for 16-24 year olds
When you are about to start an Apprenticeship, notify your Jobcentre Advisor and you can claim a 3
month travel pass.
