Working Well North Tyneside’s flagship hub, a comprehensive employment support service, has received more than 25,000 visits since it opened in October 2022.
Based in the Beacon Centre, in North Shields, it’s home to North Tyneside Council’s Employment and Skills Team and hosts a range of partners including the NHS, North East Autism Society, North Tyneside Carers, North Tyneside Citizen’s Advice and Age UK North Tyneside.
Barbara Davison was our 10,000th visitor in August 2024 when she walked in for her appointment with her dedicated Employment Advisor, Anthony Asiamah.
Barbara said: “I was first made aware of Working Well when I was walking by and noticed that support was available, I have been receiving support for a couple months now.
“If someone asked me what I thought of Working Well I would say: come in! The hub is excellent, friendly and helpful.”
A second Hub opened in Wallsend in November 2023 and Working Well services are also available in Dudley, Forest Hall, Killingworth, Whitley Bay and most recently on Cobalt Business Park.
‘Working Well North Tyneside’ was created to simplify the process of finding and securing jobs by bringing together a wide range of support services in one place.
The initiative offers expert employment advice and addresses common barriers to employment, such as finance, debt, housing, and physical and mental health issues.
By providing these crucial resources, the service empowers individuals to take control of their future and fulfil their aspirations.
As Working Well North Tyneside continues to grow, the programme remains dedicated to supporting even more residents on their journey to stable and fulfilling employment.
The Working Well hubs in North Shields and Wallsend are open from 9.30am to 3.30pm, Monday to Friday.
