Supporting employers getting people into work: Jessica Mellor-Clark Head of Communications & Public Affairs, BeOnsite - Lend Lease Jim Jessop Policy Officer – Central London Forward

Imagine getting out of prison......and trying to find a job

Or does it go straight to the bottom... Does your CV go straight to the top of the candidates pile?

How do you explain the 2 year gap in your CV? … or kill your application dead? Imagine looking for work after being homeless for 2 years. Is this likely to help you in an already competitive job market…

Imagine looking for a job... Having never had one before. You can’t get a job without experience You can’t get experience without a job

All these people want to work All these people can work All these people need is a chance …

… and Be Onsite gives them that chance.

Making a difference  Tangible results for employers, local authorities, central government and most importantly our employees  Over 350 disadvantaged people with sustained jobs in the property industry, while training over 450 with industry specific skills  90% of employees remain in work  25% of employees are former offenders. 99% of Be Onsite’s former offenders don’t return to crime

“The time is not far off when companies will have to justify their worth to society, with greater emphasis placed on environmental and social impacts than straight economics.” Dick Dusseldorp Lend Lease Founder, 1973

Across borough boundaries  The central London labour market  Our vision for the sub-region  With the grain of localism  What next?
