    According to daily mail the government are taking Jobcentre vans out to different places to reach people like football matches, mainly for young people.

    This does appear to be one of the new approaches for certain areas with high unemployment, confirmed on the Government website:

    Jobs on wheels: Mobile Jobcentre vans deliver work support directly to local communities in drive to boost employment  - GOV.UK

    It says:

    "The mobile Jobcentres are staffed by experienced Work Coaches who offer expert support with job searching, training opportunities and can provide information to those with health conditions or disabilities and accessing childcare costs."

    I don't know if they'll specifically be offering jobs, but I'd imagine it's a similar service to the job centre just more mobile for those who might not otherwise be able to engage.

    Will definitely be interesting to find out how well they get on and whether it helps people.

    Given the quality of interactions I am seeing on my journal this wouldnt surprise me. It is very disturbing given the powers a work coach has.

    I dont trust them sounds good but in reality its words start off all good then the rot from the top sinks down all about meeting targets get so many into work doesnt matter how go send someone with no arms to be a chef im so over all of this when you been apart of the system you see it for what it is a bussiness and no ones welfare is taken into account would take 20 years to change job centre staff to be compasionate caring its a toxic for staff and claimants

    I have hope that it will be fairer than human assessors as it shouldn't have any motive to be unfair. But then again maybe it'll be programmed to not be so fair.

    And Stephen Timms is supposed to be disabled as well. An embarrassment and a traitor to our community! A snake in the grass!

    To think the amount of times vulnerable people must've emailed him, thinking he's on our side, when he isn't! I haven't seen it, but i've seen an article on DNS website, that Timms supports cuts to the access to work scheme.
