The problem it solves

Support shouldn't stop when the appointment ends.

Traditional employment support is built around appointments: an hour with a support worker, in an office, often a week or two apart. In the time between, progress can easily stall.

Job applications get put off and forgotten. CVs go unwritten, out of date or unchecked. And the questions you feel embarrassed to ask out loud often go unasked altogether.

Employment Managed fills that gap. It puts practical, confidential support in the palm of your hand, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no appointment needed.

Our biggest feature

See what you could earn, and how to get there.

Employment Managed looks at your experience, qualifications and skills, and compares them against real job roles. It shows you the roles you already qualify for, and the ones you're not far away from.

For each role, you can see a potential wage, based on official pay data for that kind of work in your area. Where a role is within reach, it shows the qualification that would get you there, and where you can study for it locally.

It turns a vague hope of doing better into a clear, realistic goal you can work towards.

  1. 1
    Reads your profile

    Your experience, qualifications and skills, all in one place.

  2. 2
    Matches you to roles

    Jobs you qualify for now, and jobs you're only a step or two away from.

  3. 3
    Shows your potential wage

    What those roles pay locally, and the next step to reach them.

What else it does

Everything in one place, on your phone.

Builds your CV in minutes.

From your skills, work history and qualifications, with a personal statement, and updated whenever anything changes.

Finds courses near you.

It reads the websites of local colleges and training providers, rather than sending you to a national search page.

Answers the awkward questions.

How to explain a gap. What to say about a criminal record. A health condition. What happens to benefits when work starts.

Keeps a shared plan.

Targets set with your advisor, ticked off between appointments, with progress you can both see.

Helps you work out what you want.

Before the job search, there is often a bigger question: what do I actually want to do, and what stands between me and it.

Includes the Launchpad Kit.

Thinking about self-employment? The Launchpad Kit is included free in the app: 12 plain-English templates and guides to help you start trading legally and confidently.

For employment services

An app and a dashboard

An app for the people you support, and a dashboard for your advisors. See what has happened between appointments, set targets that appear on their phone, and get evidence of progress for your commissioners, recorded as it happens.

Dashboards are included for unlimited staff. You pay only for the participants you support.

For employers

Advertise a role

Employers can advertise vacancies in the app, and people apply with the CV they have already built. For a limited time this is free.

For local organisations

Be listed as local support

If you run a food bank, a job club, a wellbeing service, a course, a community group or anything that helps people locally, we would like to list you in the app, at no cost. You own your entry, and you can change it or remove it whenever you like.
