FORMER drug users across the county are set to benefit from a new service providing mentoring support and help in addressing the problems they may face in finding work.

progress2work is a partnership between Jobcentre Plus and Turning Point which offers jobseekers with a history of drug use specialist advice and guidance to help prepare them for employment.

Participants will be able to go on training courses and receive ongoing support for up to three months after starting work.
