Since April 2002 Jobcentre Plus has started to operate nationwide in the UK providing fully integrated benefit claiming and work placement/job-seeking activities for people of working age. This new organisation put an explicit work-focus in the delivery of the benefit system. Along with Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) claimants who traditionally have been the focus of relevant work-focused policies, Jobcentre Plus targets a much wider group of clients including lone parents, disabled people and carers. Although the work-focus of the new organisation could be beneficial for clients who themselves have an explicit work orientation, its effect on clients for whom work is not a feasible option are far less clear. This paper explores whether the changes in the delivery of the benefit system introduced by Jobcentre Plus have been beneficial for claimants who are not jobseekers and assesses which aspects of the new organisation work well and which could be improved in order to address more effectively the needs of non-job-oriented clients.

During the past two years Jobcentre Plus has faced considerable upheaval in trying to accommodate both organisational change and meet the DWP target for efficiency savings (which requires the loss of 15,000 staff by March 20008). This report looks at how these changes have affected the ability of the Agency to meet its objectives in relation to: employment and training programmes; the capacity and role of Personal Advisors; the performance of the Customer Management System; the principles behind and the performance of Contact Centres. It concludes that too much was attempted too quickly, the planning and IT processes were not up to the job and service levels suffered. As a result Jobcentre Plus failed one of the tests of the Gershon programme that service quality should not deteriorate as a result of the efficiency process.

This report follows on from a earlier NAO report (HCP 24, session 2006-07, ISBN 9780102943795). Personal Advisers assess needs of people looking for work and point them towards the right kind of assistance needed to find a job. In 2005-06, Jobcentre Plus had some 9,300 advisers at a salary cost of £238 million, conducting in total 10.8 million jobseeker interviews. They are also the gateway to various New Deal programmes, which has cost £5 billion since 1997. With the Government's aim of increasing the employment rate to 80%, personal advisers will have an important role. The Committee has set out a number of conclusions and recommendations, including: that the Department for Work and Pensions aim of assisting 1 million people on benefit into work, will require Jobcentre Plus to keep a good knowledge of employers' short and medium term skill needs as well as training opportunities; Jobcentre Plus should take care to protect advisers from unnecessary administrative work, interruptions of interviews to a minimum and allow more discretion and flexibility to advisers on individual cases; in 2005-06 customers failed to attend around 1.8 million scheduled interviews, whilst customers turned up late on average for around one in six interviews, Jobcentre Plus could do more to remind customers of their responsibilities, but also take account of local transport needs and use text messages and phone calls to remind customers of appointment times; improving the amount of time personal advisers spend with customers is a key element in helping Jobcentre Plus in achieving its efficiency targets and in helping it to be effective in achieving organisational objectives of helping people find work.

The Work Programme was introduced quickly, in just over a year, and this has had benefits, but the speed with which it was launched has also increased risks. The Programme, which replaces virtually all of the existing 'welfare to work' schemes, has a number of innovative design features that address weaknesses in previous schemes. Providers are paid primarily for the results they achieve in supporting people into employment so what the provider earns is tied to performance. However, assumptions about the feasibility of the Programme might be over-optimistic. The NAO's analysis suggests that 26 per cent of the largest group of job seekers in the Programme will get jobs, compared to the Department's estimate of 40 per cent. Some contractors in areas of high unemployment may struggle to meet nationally set targets. Neither were alternatives to the Programme considered as part of the business case, nor was it piloted to test assumptions. It has so far cost £63 million to terminate existing welfare to work contracts, including contracts with ten providers that went on to win contracts for the Programme. Two former contractors have not yet agreed settlements. The IT project to support the Programme is not fully functional and the Department will not be able, until March 2012 at the earliest, to carry out automatic checks to confirm that people who find work have stopped claiming benefits. Fewer clients than expected are being referred onto the Programme as part of the 'harder-to-help' category. Some have been found to be 'fit for work' and switched into other categories and it is taking the Department longer to process assessments and appeals

The design and delivery of employment programmes are critical to the success of welfare reform and fundamental to the Government's aspiration of an 80 per cent employment rate. The new Flexible New Deal (FND) programme will be part of the revised JSA regime and will be delivered by large prime contractors who will work with subcontractors at a subregional level. Prime contractors will be given longer contracts and have greater autonomy to design individualised support for customers who have been unemployed for more than 12 months. The Committee welcomes the move towards longer contracts and endorses the principles of the FND programme, and was impressed by the work that Jobcentre Plus staff are undertaking to prepare for the introduction of the new regime. Yet there are significant concerns that fundamental flaws exist in the design of FND and the assumptions on which it is based. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) accepts that on-flows onto FND could be 300 per cent higher than first indicated, with implications for resources at the providers, and possible delays in implementing FND in some areas. The Committee urges DWP to confirm that changes will be made to the budget to reflect the massive increase in predicted onflows to FND. It might not be possible for providers to meet the targets on which contractor payments are principally based, and the Committee received evidence to suggest that the financial model for FND is flawed and its targets unrealistic. It is crucial that DWP and other departments ensure that collaborative working with City Strategies, local authorities and other local Partners is facilitated at all levels if joint commissioning is to become a reality.
