So i found out on friday that i have been offered the job i went for on thursday. Its working in the catering department of my old secondary school. Its mon-fri and a total of 16 hours per week. I have 2 children, an 18yr old daughter who has just finished college (tax credits stop for her next month) and a 5 year old boy... I have been on JSA since February.
I've been told by my job advisor to sign off the day before I start work. I am just waiting for the paperwork to come through from the company I'll be working for. I don't really know what else i am supposed to do apart from claim working tax credits, and let the council tax and housing benefit people know.. Do i have to apply for anything else? Someone said I can get a run on of 4 weeks JSA after starting work to help with costs until I get paid but I'm not sure who I go to to ask about that.
Can anyone help please? ☺
