Job Club

If you're searching for a job, our Job Club can help you improve your chances of success!

We are offering weekly sessions with a Job Club volunteer and, depending on volunteer availability, are resuming Covid-safe 1-2-1 sessions from St Luke’s Community Centre for those on our waiting list. Online sessions can still be arranged if necessary.

In partnership with our fantastic local corporate volunteers, we can support you to: write or update your CV, develop new job search techniques, practise for interviews, source online applications, produce cover letters and find useful job websites. In addition, for that all-important interview, through our Suited and Booted scheme we can provide men with an almost new suit, shirt, and tie.

Employability workshops will be also advertised through our mailing list for registered participants and our Online Centre is now open with social distancing and is offering free use of PCs and Wi-Fi.

To sign up or to find out more information, please contact the St Luke’s Business Engagement Team on 020 7549 8181 or email us at [email protected]

Booking is essential for all Job Club sessions.
