Connect to Work

Connect to Work supports people who are:

• disabled
• living with long-term health conditions
• from disadvantaged groups
• at risk of losing their job
• in need of help to stay in work

Connect to Work is rolling out across England and Wales and aims to support up to 100,000 people. In West Sussex, we’ll support up to 900 residents each year. We’re launching in November 2025.

The programme is voluntary and fully funded by the government. If you want to work but face barriers, we would like to hear from you.

If you're eligible, we’ll offer up to 12 months of personalised support to help you find a job and settle in once you start.

We’re not accepting applications yet. To get updates you can ask to join our mailing list by emailing connect-to-work@westsussex.gov.uk.

We will publish more details, including how to apply, on this page when the programme goes live.
