A pilot project between Ingeus and APCOA Parking, an international company with an operating base in Wigan, is creating work opportunities for local jobseekers.
Ingeus’ Working Well (Work and Health Programme) in Greater Manchester provides tailored support to individuals with disabilities and health conditions who are seeking employment.
The project generated a job opportunity for Ingeus participant John who is delighted to be working as an administration assistant – his first paid role since being made redundant two years ago from his work at a large retail store.
“Our company has not worked with Ingeus before,” said Kevin Sumner-Hindley, Contract Manager in Wigan with APCOA Parking. “Engagement with the programme has been very professional and we have received all the advice we needed to be able to offer a job to John.”
