Helping you find work and new training opportunities

Edition: Winter 2022

In response to the negative impact of the pandemic on local employment we now have a number of projects to support local people.

The Y-WISH Youth Hub

If you are aged between 18 and 24 and need advice and guidance on your future career and work plans, the Y-WISH Youth Employment Hub in Horsham’s Swan Walk Shopping Centre is the place to go.

Since February 2021, the Council’s Youth Employment Support team has worked with over 150 young people, with many successfully accessing jobs, apprenticeships, training, or further education.

We help with CVs, job applications, interviews, and can guide you through the maze of job sites and apprenticeship options, and introduce you to ideas you may never have considered. We also work with lots of specialist partners, who can support anything else you may need help with.

Call the team on 01403 215334, email journey2work@horsham.gov.uk or just drop in – we are open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

I really appreciate your help with my job search. It would have taken me weeks and I would have stressed over it so much without your support!
