Redundancy support for businesses

The Rapid Response Service works with businesses that are making 10 or more people redundant.  There is a strong local network led by Portsmouth City Council Regeneration and Business Department, that can link employees whose posts are being made redundant to new opportunities, jobs, courses and voluntary work. 

We work closely with Jobcentre Plus to ensure those effected have the best chance of getting back to work quickly and that people understand the terms of their redundancy payments and how this can affect benefits whilst you remain unemployed. A recent case study can be read from the link below.

For individuals looking for support, please contact Lyndsie Barnard on 023 9232 8971. 

For businesses making 10 or more people redundant, please contact Linda Taylor, Employment Initiatives Manager on 023 9284 1501 or email invest@portsmouthcc.gov.uk
