The CAP Job Club in Tiverton is one of over 150 Job Clubs that are run in partnership with the award winning debt relief charity Christians Against Poverty.

The CAP Job Club in Tiverton provides tailored support to help individuals gain either voluntary or paid work through rolling ‘Steps to Employment’ courses, coaching and providing a community for jobseekers at Tiverton Library on Thursday afternoons.

The Job Club in Tiverton is a friendly place where you will get practical help as you seek employment. It's a relaxed environment with the chance to meet other jobseekers, get support and gain the tools you need to find work.

The Job Club is free to attend, open to all regardless of status or creed, and lunch is included. Since opening in 2017 we have hosted 7 courses, with 57 people attending a course and even more calling in for employment advice.

Out of those who attended a course, 68% secured work for themselves, which is fantastic!

We recognise that being unemployed can be a lonely and challenging time for many, it is a hidden battle that many individuals and families face. For this reason, Tiverton Vineyard Church decided to partner with Christians Against Poverty to host the Job Club on a weekly basis because we recognised that there was a need to serve the town to provide individuals with hope, encouragement and engaging employment support.

Many of those who have attended appreciate the opportunity to talk through their situations over something to eat and drink with others who also desire to work. In this informal setting, we can work through what’s required to find a job that’s a good fit, discuss job applications and also refine CVs. We offer the opportunity to practice interview technique and are able to help individuals to identify and overcome any barriers to employment that they may have.

The CAP Job Club is delivered through Tiverton Vineyard Church by an employed Job Club Manager, two trained volunteer coaches, and additional volunteers who serve through hospitality, administration, publicity and one-to-one support during our sessions. Through the Job Club in Tiverton, we hope to help as many as we can to gain confidence in themselves. Enabling them to know that they have a hope and a future, and to empower them to live their lives to the full.
