What is the Job Club?
The CAP (Christians Against Poverty) Job Club is a friendly place where you will get practical help as you seek employment. It’s a relaxed environment with the chance to meet other jobseekers, get support and gain the tools you need to find work.
Being unemployed can be hard to deal with on your own, but being part of one of the 67 CAP Job Clubs means you face the challenge with other people in similar situations.
‘No one in the past has ever taught me how to apply or interview, it has always been something I’ve learnt from past occurrence, or researched on my own. And as such, looking for a job can also be a lonely, often dispiriting, experience, especially when time and again you don’t succeed. Instead, CAP Job Clubs has made the whole process fun!’ – JR
What will the CAP Job Club involve?
The CAP Job Club meets weekly most Tuesday mornings at 10.30am in the Open Grounds Café from 13 May 2025. You’ll follow an eight-week course that will give you all the tools you need to find work, from writing a CV that employers won’t be able to resist, to brushing up on those all important interview skills.
You will join a group of people facing similar experiences to you and learn together and from each other. Each member also has a designated job coach who will provide one to one support.
How much does it cost?
Absolutely nothing – our Job Club is completely free (including drinks and a light lunch).
Do I have to be a Christian?
Not at all – our services are for everyone. As Christians, we believe that God answers prayer, so we may offer to pray with you, but it’s up to you if you’re happy for us to do this or not. CAP is a charity that is passionate about helping people from all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities and faiths.
