If everyone on the WP withdrew consent, the WP would collapse. Providers wouldn't make any money........

The Ingeus staff don't deserve the title of employment advisor IMO. They should be called 'Finding Employment Sales Assistant', as they do work to targets and try get their hands on all the money the DWP pays them for outcomes.

 

I heard an advisor the other month ringing up one of her clients employers. Since it's an open office and that. Basically she called up as she is XXX's employment worker who helped XXX find a job and was wondering if XXX was still there, thinking deep down she is just thinking of the £££ makes you sick.

Is it your advisor that contacts your employer? I always though it was head office, is that right

Not sure, doesn't seem that way here. I'd assume as they are your personal advisor who wants to generate leads, they'd follow up any employment.

Hiya Guys ..... The Cambridge Dictionary's meaning of "Advisor" is "someone whose job is to give advice about a subject".... Has anyone ever had any advice? ... All they say to me is ....."have you been job searching"?....... I say "yes".....they say... "OK, see you in 6 weeks"..........

 

I hear them say to other clients...."Morning.. go sit over there on that PC and find a job"..... WOW...impressive eh..!. truly an intellect to be reckoned with....lol.... where do they find these muppets?

[SirAnonymous]

Nope mine didn't really talk to me. Apart from "you alright, know what you're in for?" .. let me guess I made my way to Ingeus to get a free cup of coffee and chat with all the advisors!

 

And did you ever get made to do a mandatory workshop at Ingeus itself? It was so stupid, the person was asking us stuff like "What are your barriers to getting a job?" then talking about all the hidden jobs blah blah it lasted 2 hours couldn't believe it.

 

There's one advisor she must in her 60's, but I heard her refer to her clients as a bunch of "toerags". But to be fair the word is probably as old as her.

The Welfare To Work Sector occupied a position at a lower position in the Economic Food Chain than Job Centre Plus, and given that the lowest grade of JCP is Administrative Officer, perhaps Administrative Clerk is a more than generous job title.

No probs, on its way

Just out of curiosity, does your old advisor get paid a bonus of some sort when you first land a job, or every 3 months you stay in work?

[SirAnonymous]

Yes. And they get paid for every year you're in work, up to 5 years I believe.

 

[G4C389]

So my old advisor is getting paid for me as we'll as ingeus company? It gets worse, so if I withdrew my consent she will be made aware if this? And I hope she doesn't contact me about it

I believe Ingeus get paid that, then they will pass on a percentage to the advisor who "helped" you find a job. If you withdraw consest I wouldn't think they'd be able to contact the employer on your behalf?

 

Nimitz would probably know more about this.

my adviser said im not doing very well at finding a job,and i had to consider training,she sugested teaching,or construction,im 55 years old,and worked in a slaughter house then a warehouse all my working life,

i said are you joking she said she was deadly serious.

In this current climate even with experience it's hard to find a job. Your advisor is lucky they have a job that pays £24k+ a year that any of us could do.. some of my advisors can barely use a computer lol.

That is ridiculous. I mean, how many 55 year olds are physically able to do construction? If she said something like IT or office, I could understand it.

Lol Your spot on, if it was easier to complain I would as during my time there my advisor forged my signature on an application form she filled in for me, I still have e-mail of her saying 'just to let you know I have filled the app form in for you and it will be taken to the employer later thus week', this was a year ago like, but they do not open the door for you to take this further, and I wonder if its substantial proof really

[SirAnonymous]

Well that is committing fraud. They go on about how we are all scroungers begging for £55 a week of the state. I mean you would need proof but it should be easy in seeing if it's your signature or not!

I knew as soon as I walked in to Room and sat down, another ingeus advisor (who was an A hole btw) asked me if it was my handwritingm, I said no and asked me to full a new one in, corrupt or what? But at the tine I didn't have the confidence to say anything. they were so intimidating you see

Well yeah, sign a new one to cover their backs haha. They are so corrupt and the government looks right past it.

 

Looking at how much they can earn from "finding" one person a job is up to £13,700, now I'm not sure what the total costs of running the work programme scheme + wages + payments for finding a client a job. But I'm positive it's cheaper just to leave them signing on until they find a job themselves? crazy.

I know I can't help but think its another one of Cameron's so called bright ideas, I blame him for this, and do you reckon if another government come in then ingeus will be swept under the carpet?
