Notes:

Data is correct as of May 2023.
Data for Work Coaches does not include Work Coach Team Leaders.
Figures were derived from the Department’s Activity Based Model (ABM), which provides Full Time Equivalent (FTE) figures based on point in time estimate by Line Managers. They cover only FTE with paid employment. They have been rounded to the nearest 10.
Where the Department’s data does not show a specific site, this has been included in the table as “Other”
The number of Work Coaches is unpublished management information, collected and intended for internal department use and has not been quality assured to National Statistics or Official Statistics standard. As the Department holds the information, we have released it.
