  12. Case Studies A customer affected by the benefit cap and who wanted to work was helped by Jobcentre Plus, Central College Nottingham and Rushcliffe Borough Council colleagues in one interview. As a result the customer has secured work as a mid-day supervisor and the school has offered to support him through teaching assistant training so the college are helping him find the right course

  13. Case Studies A gentleman came to see the Jobcentre plus advisor. He hasn’t worked for 20 years due to ill health and was affected by the spare room subsidy. A holistic approach across partners meant that in one place the customer received help from Citizens Advice regarding his benefit entitlement, The Employment Support Advisor and the Jobcentre plus advisor to help him with his job search and Council advisors who were able to answer his query about Council Tax Support.
