The Southwark Works service is paid for by Southwark Council. Southwark Works is a network of employment support organisations who have come together to help you find the right job. Your personal information is collected at registration and may be passed on to the partner organisation(s) which can best support your needs.

If you do not want the organisation(s) to have access to your data, we will not be able to offer you a service.

Only the organisation(s) you are working with directly will be able to access your information. Your personal data will be securely retained for six years and destroyed in line with the council’s retention policy.

Once referred, your employment adviser will endeavour to contact you in the most helpful way for you; this may be by telephone, post, text or email, please let your adviser know which is most suitable. They may also need to share your information with training providers and employers whilst trying to help you find work. Please sign below to show you agree to this.
