Flexible New Deal
Serco's delivery strategy for Flexible New Deal is to subcontract all front-line delivery to a network of subcontractors, drawing on the best local and national welfare-to-work providers and integrating them effectively with specialist, community-based organisations.
The key features of Serco's Flexible New Deal model are:
- The introduction of a unique 3-step model, with the intensity of tailored support, the resources available and the level of jobseeker activity required increasing at each Step;
- Customer choice, with jobseekers empowered to create a personalised programme;
- The implementation of a web-based case management system across all providers, driving performance and facilitating accountability;
- Coordination of employer engagement;
- Localisation, working with local providers and stakeholders who understand the key challenges relating to worklessness in each area;
- A network of Specialist Support Providers to wrap around core provision.
