Can you help me find a job?
Look at the websites of the professional or trade organisations in the industries that interest you to find out about job opportunities.

I've been made homeless and my friend says I can no longer stay with her. What can I do?
Everyone’s circumstances are different, but your local Connexions PA can help you find out if you can get emergency accommodation through the council and how to access welfare and housing benefits. If you decide to take the private rental route, you can ask about finding a landlord and guarantor, advance rent and deposits.
