Brent In2 Work works in partnership with over 40 local employment organisations and providers to place local people into local jobs. Between them these partners offer a wide range of services to help local unemployed residents make the transition from welfare into work.
We aspire to engender a relationship of true co-operation within our partnership, ensuring that employers and unemployed people access the services of the whole partnership through a single point of contact with any one of the partners.

WEST LONDON WORKING
What is West London Working?
West London Working brings together the partners’ responsible for employment and skills to tackle the high and persistent number of West London residents not in employment. It is one of 15 City Strategy Pathfinders launched by the Department for Work and Pensions [DWP] in April 2007. Pathfinder partnerships aim to join up employment and skills Agencies and services to increase their effectiveness.
Below is a presentation about West London Working, looking at who they are and their vision. It also includes information about their West London Directory of Employment Services which has been set up to help personal advisors access the right support to help people into work.
The website for the West London Directory of Employment Services can be found at http://directory.westlondonworking.org.uk
Who is part of West London Working?
The West London Working partnership is employer led. The governing Board includes members from major local employers as well as key delivery partners from the West London Alliance Local Authorities, Jobcentre Plus, the Learning and Skills Council, the Primary Care Trust, and the London Development Agency.
