PaCE:

The PaCE project (Parent, Childcare and Employment) is an employability project helping parents into work by addressing their childcare barrier. For example, support with childcare has been given to existing participants to enable them to prepare for the workplace by completing training or volunteering placements, writing CVs, attending job interviews or applying for jobs on line.

During the pandemic, a limited service is on offer over the phone or email with face-to-face meetings starting again once lockdown has been lifted. If you wish to discuss the project and explore what support may be available to you in the future please contact Chris Postle on 07342 072870 or by emailing christine.postle@dwp.gov.uk
