  • Employment Advisers (EAs) are based in Jobcentres and not in health settings. Their role includes finding employment opportunities for Work Coaches to discuss with claimants, setting up job fairs and liaising with employers. Data is drawn at the end of each month. Data is correct as of the end of October 2023 and has been rounded to the nearest 10.
  • For the purposes of answering this question the JC Employer and Partnerships product group has been used which contains the activity lines as shown in the table above.
  • Only those in England have been included.
