I don’t think so.I keep hearing about why don’t you do this and that from the Ingeus advisors who are paid top whack at £27000 PA to so called “help you or empower you”. Truth be told they should really be helping by calling up the employers, after all the job seekers do their bit, signing on and looking for work at the jobcentre. Vince Cable keeps muttering on about 3 million jobs, hmm where are these jobs Vince, care to explain? Or it it another spin from the party of spin who snugged up to the tories, yeah we belive you lib dems. No tution fees lol. So… if the jobcentre empowers you to look for work, that is what you get your benefit for? What is ingeus for? To do the exact same thing then? What a waste of taxpayers money…and they talk about the unemployed taking all the money. I shudder to think how much was wasted on these jobcentre quangos pretending to help the unemployed. They should spend the money on attracting investment into deprived areas. Hounding people into work thats not there is NOT the answer!
Another low life tactic with Ingeus is they spend even more taxpayers money, farming out the unemployed to their own list of 3rd party companies some are called Microcom, JHP, Work wise and Wise Start. This is where you are suppose to do slave labour 4 weeks stint for no money at either a charity shop or cleaning toilets. Some get to go to poundland while others have to sit at a screen all day looking for work, which is what you already do at home so it really defeats the purpose.
Still thankfully Ingeus will be losing their contracts on June, as the government tender for the new universal credits is introduced in September the Labour funded Ingeus quango is bound to be doomed to even cheaper alternatives.
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you Ingeus!
