Then don't hesitate - get involved as soon as you can to take advantage of the help and support available. You can call the team on 03000 262 930 or you can add your details to the form below and we'll be in touch.

You will be treated respectfully and fairly in a safe and welcoming setting. Our expert staff will work with you to draw up a plan to help you fulfil your potential and work towards your ambitions.

You may need guidance on building a CV, help with searching for and applying for jobs or support preparing for interview. We can also provide you with ongoing information, advice and guidance once you have successfully secured a post.

DurhamWorks is an inclusive programme working with a diverse range of young people across County Durham to remove any barriers preventing you from progressing.

We can subsidise the initial transport, child care or clothing costs associated with your new role and help you to budget for these costs going forward. We also have funding for employers to create employment opportunities for young people.

DurhamWorks will support you to resolve problems that might be caused by your changing situation, in areas like benefits, housing or care responsibilities.
