The Department for Work and Pensions is responsible for welfare, pensions and child maintenance policy. As the UK’s biggest public service department, it administers the state pension and a range of working-age, disability and ill health benefits to around 20 million claimants and customers.
DWP provides a jobs board – available to all job seekers.
Benefit Claimants receive additional support and information on the process of finding a job via their Work Coach in the network of Jobcentres across the UK.

DWP and IEMA in collaboration for the Green Careers Hub
DWP and government are committed to supporting industry to deliver up to 480,000 green jobs by 2030. This will be crucial in creating the workforce we need to help us reach net zero by 2050. As we move to a green economy there is a significant opportunity for people to benefit from increasing good quality employment, and more opportunity for employers to gain access to the right skills. To make this happen, DWP must continue to work with a range of stakeholders to identify green jobs, and make sure that the right support is in place to help people into them.
As a strategic partner of the Green Careers Hub, DWP supports IEMA’s work to promote green skills and jobs. Collaborating on content and relevant events, DWP provides a wealth of up-to-date information and opportunities for our audience.
