I’m a carer, I care for my partner. I have been on the lookout for a part-time job for several reasons. Extra income would be nice to say the least and the monotony ( when you have been used to working all your life ) can be bloody grim.

Try as I can to find a job with “ routine” hours, there just seems to be none around. Everyone needs flexibility and for you to be able to cover the shifts of others at the drop of a hat. That is something which my homelife just cannot allow I need to be able to build a routine.

Whilst I don’t envisage my circumstances will change by this proposed policy, benefit wise, I can see the “knock on” effect whereby other forms of State Benefit will be re-worked. So maybe it will effect me in that manner.

I can see how, having people on JSA doing jobs within the community will effect the likes of me though. It will make it even harder for me, and the likes, to find some form of employment.
