What is the Paid Work Placements programme?
PWP is funded by the Scottish Government through Glasgow City Council on behalf of Glasgow Futures Local Employability Partnership and the programme will be delivered by GCVS with partners Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, Enable Scotland, CEMVO Scotland, and Move On and will provide up to 60 people, resident within Glasgow city boundary, with the opportunity to work on a paid placement at the Real Living Wage.
Placements will be funded for between 18 and 26 weeks, and for between 16 and 25 hours a week (with flexibility for fewer if required because of disability or caring responsibilities). A maximum of 550 hours can be funded through the programme.
The employee can also expect ongoing support during their placement as well as training to help them to stay in employment at the end of the placement.
Employers creating placement opportunities are eligible to reclaim wage and other costs associated with the placement.
The Paid Work Placements programme is delivered on behalf of Glasgow City Council, in partnership with Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector (GCVS). Glasgow Chamber of Commerce will be supporting participants through the process of securing placements. Other partners include Enable Scotland, CEMVO Scotland, and Move On.
