12,000 Universal Credit advisers hired to get people into work during the pandemic are now have to reapply for their own jobs.
Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) management has written to thousands of Work Coaches last week offering them an “opportunity to apply for a permanent role”, reports The Mirror.
The number of Work Coaches doubled from 13,500 to 27,000 during the Covid pandemic as Universal Credit claims surged.
