Every Day Counts will harness the local knowledge and expertise of a range of local providers and will prioritise high levels of intensive activity to increase speed to placement. Every Day Counts is designed for all customer groups including those on JSA, ESA, IB and IS. The intensity of support and choice of interventions will be tailored to each customer‟s individual needs. Appropriate levels of mandatory activity will apply to key steps and JSA customers will experience increasing conditionality throughout the programme. All customers, but particularly those in receipt of ESA, IB and IS will receive holistic support to tackle their barriers to employment which may include poor health and caring commitments. Our core model has been adapted to meet the particular requirements of customers in Cumbria, Lancashire, Merseyside & Halton and will be used by our supply chain across the entire contract package area (CPA). Every Day Counts incorporates four specially developed stages: Diagnostics, Intensive Support, Skills Plus and Breakthrough during which customers can enter employment at any time. On entering employment, customers will automatically graduate to the Careers Academy, where they will receive a tailored package of support to help them remain in work and build a sustainable career path. Each stage of Every Day Counts will be underpinned by: the personal support of an Employment Advisor (EA); intensive job- search and job-matching activities with automated vacancy notification; tailored employer engagement; work placements; a range of skills options; practical face-to-face assistance from specialists in our Health & Wellbeing service; advice and support on issues such as debt and substance misuse from our Accessible Community Experts (ACE) Network; and access to our innovative online job-search and job-matching support tool, Invisage. Every stage on the programme is focused towards the work outcome and customers will be encouraged to enter employment at the earliest and most suitable opportunity. Transitions between stages will be marked by a Review and Refresh appointment at which the customer and their EA will assess progress and identify next steps.
