Employment Plus Local
Please contact us to find out when our free drop-in service will be back up and running.
The Salvation Army has been actively involved in employment and employability services since we opened the first Labour Exchange in 1890, some 20 years before the UK government.
Still a major provider of employment services, The Salvation Army is currently rolling out the opening of Employment Plus Local centres; a local employment resources service for the local community. The opening of Employment Plus Local in Cheltenham launched back in April of 2013.
