Jobcentres: Staff

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many 50 PLUS Champions are currently employed in Jobcentres.

Answer

We currently have 14 50PLUS Champions at Department regional level who work collaboratively with our 37 District 50PLUS Champions to raise the profile of our older claimants. The champions act as a single point of contact for cascading messages, communications and best practice to colleagues locally and nationally. They raise awareness with Work Coaches, employers and providers of the products available to them, for example local groups, online tools and more.
