Success Doncaster

Our services are available to you at no cost.

The Jobmates programme provided by the North Doncaster Development Trust will give you access to your own personal jobmate.

Jobmates are a team of specialist advisors to help residents of Doncaster find ways to tackle their barriers in accessing employment.

You can contact our team of Jobmates in a variety of ways:

• Ring the Success Doncaster Helpline on 01302 734554 to register your details

• Text 07500083366 to request a call-back

• Email your details to jobmates@northdoncaster.org.uk

• Visit our website www.jobmates.org.uk or www.northdoncaster.org.uk

Jobmates can work with anyone who lives in Doncaster who is unemployed, or who works less than 16 hours a week. 

Our Jobmates are based all around Doncaster Borough and use a variety of community locations.  You can either visit a Jobmate in one of our local offices, a local community centre, library or children’s centre, a community café, or in special circumstances in your own home.  We will always pre arrange the appointment with you and meet at a mutually convenient time and location.

Your Jobmate will meet with you on an individual basis to identify your needs and draw up an action plan.  We will assist you to identify your strengths and weaknesses to develop a CV, work on job search, application forms and interview techniques with you, source training and volunteer placements, and help with any other issues that may affect your ability to find employment such as childcare, housing or debt issues or family problems.

Jobmates will meet or discuss your circumstances with you on a fortnightly basis.  This support is tailored to each individual and will continue until you find employment.  Jobmates will continue to support you for your first six months in employment to ensure that you have reached your goal.  After 26 weeks with a Jobmate, your circumstances will be reviewed to ensure you are receiving the most appropriate help.
