Government plans to establish new universal jobs and careers service by 2028-29.
Conclusion
In November 2024, the government published its Get Britain Working white paper that set out plans for reforming employment support including a new jobs and careers service, bringing together jobcentres with the National Careers Service in England. The Department aims to create a universal service that will provide support for anyone who is looking to work, to get on in work, change career or retrain, not just claimants by 2028–29.17 This includes customers who do not use the jobcentre at the moment, including people with health conditions and people who are not on benefits at all but who need help finding a job.18
