Connect to Work

Helping people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly overcome barriers to employment or stay in work, with personalised, expert support.

What is Connect to Work?

Connect to Work supports people with health-related or complex challenges to find work and succeed in it.

Delivered through the People Hub, and funded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), we can help you find meaningful, long-term employment and provide personalised, one-to-one support.

Connect to Work also supports people who are already in work but may be at risk of losing their job, helping them to stay in employment.
