Highly recommended
I have gone self employed recently, and was looking to upskill in driveways and landscaping. Speaking with Michael Bennett from jobs 22 he was very reassuring in being able to help. After our initial meeting i found a course I was really interested in doing and he sorted the rest within a week. Since completing the course Mike has kept in contact on a weekly basis to see how I'm progressing. I highly recommend reaching out to Michael at Jobs 22 for support and guidance in your career.

Julie from jobs22 is absolutely amazing. She has offered so much support and has found the perfect job for my current situation. Without Julie, I probably would still not be working now, as I found it difficult to find something flexible and to fit my current situation. She is so friendly and helpful and has done everything she can to help and support me. The team are all helpful and friendly and they have really helped improve my situation. I would highly recommend using jobs22 and Julie is just fantastic! She listens and cares and does everything she can to help :)

Couldn't fault my work coach at all
Couldn't fault my work coach at all! Julie Mccarthy! I was really hesitant as my mental health wasn't great. Julie helped me all through out and am now in full time employment and am extremely happy. I will keep in touch with Julie even though I no longer have to attend. Again cannot fault at all!

Jokecoaches Not Workcoaches
Bedford Jobs 22 is a circus full of clowns. Applied for 3 jobs and managed to secure 1 interview without the help of Jobs 22, and I was told there is lack of quality and too much focus on quantity.
I just filed a complaint regarding the false allegations made, beware of Jobs 22, they are not experienced at all especially within specialist roles.
I was being harassed by DWP/Jobcentre for months to go onto this joke programme. Now I'm stuck with these idiots for another 11 months. Jobs 22 was introduced because DWP/Jobcentre are corrupt and inexperienced to help people back into work.

I stayed despite it no longer being mandatory
I was referred to Jobs 22 as I had been on sick leave from my university course for a year after becoming disabled during placement on my nursing degree. At the beginning I didn’t understand why I had been referred and was quite resentful because if I was well enough to work I’d be back doing my nursing. The support I received was amazing and they were so understanding of my situation and helped me when I had to come to terms with withdrawing from my course and registering as officially disabled. Zoe Malin has been exceptional, she is so understanding of my situation, deals with my up and down moods so well and always makes me feel better after our appointments. My sessions were no longer mandatory but I decided to stay and continue with the support with Zoe with the hope of looking for a new career and possible jobs working from home. She helped me with finding a course to do online which was funded by Jobs 22, and even though my health has took a bad turn again there has been no pressure to finish the course right now just when I can. She continues to support me and I know she will be amazing at finding the right job for me because she goes above and beyond with listening and understanding. I’m very grateful for Zoe.
