Jobcentres across Merseyside have 50 new positions up for grabs from today,
The Department for Work and Pensions are looking to employ 50 new workers for jobs based in Liverpool, Wirral, Widnes & Runcorn, Southport and St Helens.
Applications to be a Work Coach open today, Wednesday, November 25, and will close on Wednesday, December 2.
It comes as the DWP enters its final round of recruitment for 9,000 additional Work Coaches nationwide by the end of March 2021.
This follows a successful initial phase of recruitment which saw 4,500 Work Coaches hired as part of DWP’s response to the pandemic and their pledge to help get people back into work.
The Government is doubling the number of Jobcentre Work Coaches available to support people to 27,000 by March 2021.
Mims Davies MP, Minister for Employment said: “Any Work Coach will tell you just how rewarding their job is.
"Helping someone back into work is really fulfilling and knowing the positive difference you’ve made to someone’s life is a real boost.
“If you’re looking for a new challenge and want to support your community, put yourself forward for what is a crucial role at the forefront of the UK’s economic recovery.”
The new recruits will help to make sure that people in Liverpool have access to expert mentoring and jobs support.
More expert Work Coaches means more personal, tailored support for jobseekers who are looking to get going with a new career or to move on from a struggling sector.

Along with helping people improve their CV, interview and job search skills, Work Coaches also help arrange more structured support including:
- The £2 billion Kickstart scheme which puts young people receiving benefits first in line for new, high quality, six-month roles provided by employers from all sectors. The placements give them a wage for the duration and the chance to build their experience and professional networks.
- The £238 million JETS programme targeting those out of work for three months with a range of help from expert providers, including specialist advice on how people can move into growing sectors.
- A mixture of work experience and training through SWAPS (Sector-based Work Academy Programmes), which received a £17 million funding boost this summer and will help people move into new sectors.
