Jobbroker – Brighton and Hove

Working in partnership with New Deal For Disabled People, we provide the Jobbroker service in the Brighton and Hove area. We help candidates receiving disability-related benefits who are seeking sustainable employment but need practical advice, support, training and development to achieve their objectives.

Jobbroker is a voluntary service provided by dedicated advisers who assist disabled people and those with health issues who wish to enter or re-enter the employment market.

We work with people from many differing backgrounds. What they have in common is a desire to move into part-time, full-time or self-employed work.
