Dear <Your Name>
How does the prospect of rewarding, long-term employment sound?
Sounds good, doesn’t it? Well that’s exactly what the Flexible New Deal (FND) programme has been created to help you find. And how that you’ve signed up for FND, we’d like you to get together with your personal career coach. That’s the person who’ll be giving you individual advice, guidance and support.
You’ll meet <Name>. your coach, at your First Step meeting. Lasting at least an hour, this will be held at:
<Apppointment details>
If you need a registered child carer, an interpreter or any other service in order to attend, we may be able to arrange this. And cover your costs. Just give us as much notice before the meeting as you can.
And if you’d feel more comfortable bringing someone along with you, then please do.
Topics of discussion.
At First Step, you’ll talk about your past employment and education. So if you have an up-to-date CV, please bring it in.
It would be useful is you started giving some thought to a few thigns before the meeting. For example, where would you like to work in the future? And what help do you think you’ll need to achieve that goal? Together, you and your coach wil decide what to do next.
What if something crops up?
If, before the meeting, you find a job, congratulations! But in the excitement don’t forget to let us know. We’re able to offer you support and guidance even after you take up your new role.
And if you can’t make the meeting at the appointed time, you need to contact us as soon as possible. If an alternative arrangement isn’t made quickly, your benefit could be affected. Our telephone number is <number>.
The information we’re enclosing with this letter should cover most of what you need to know about A4E, and fND. And there’s a map for your meeting too. But if there’s anything else you’re wondering about, please give us a call.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Yours sincerely
