Stephen Metcalfe, local MP for South Basildon and East Thurrock, has welcomed a recent announcement that aims to get troubled families back into work with the help of new advisors.

These employment advisors will provide practical support, including CV writing, job interview skills and highlight training opportunities and job vacancies in South Basildon and East Thurrock.

New figures have also shown that Local Authorities across the country have successfully turned around the lives of 1,675 troubled families after just 9 months of the 3 year programme.

Commenting Mr Metcalfe said: “Across Essex 2,220 families have been identified as needing extra support and help to turn their lives around. These extra employment specialists will provide practical help to put adults from troubled families on the path back to work.”
