CAP Job Club Opens in Middlewich

First CAP Job Club in Cheshire Opens in Middlewich

The first Job Club in Cheshire run by the charity Christians Against Poverty has opened at Middlewich Community Church.

CAP Clubs provide much more than a database of job vacancies. Over several weeks, courses tailored to the needs of individual job seekers provide structured support such as ‘writing your CV’, interview preparation, ‘what are employers looking for?’, ‘personal profiles skills and positive qualities’, training and volunteering to gain experience, ‘self employment options’ and much more.

Speaking at the launch, MP for Middlewich Fiona Bruce MP said:

“This in an impressively structured course providing not only individualised coaching, for people seeking all types of job, but also the support that comes from joining a group of others in the same life situation and with the backup of people in the local community. I commend Middlewich Community Church for initiating the first such CAP Job Club in the county.

John Kirkby, founder of Christians Against Poverty, said:

“A CAP Job Club provides tools for personal and practical development to assist people in their job hunt. We hope to see hundreds of CAP Job Clubs across the country over the next few years. Using our sixteen years experience of helping people get free from debt we are now working to support the unemployed through the local church.”
