	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2021 answer text <p>The Department for Work and Pension’s Kickstart is creating valuable jobs for 16-24 year olds on Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment. To ensure that as many young people across Great Britain can access a Kickstart opportunity, jobs that require a young person to work from home are listed as ‘national’ roles. This also supports the employer with a wider range of candidates. Any requirement for a young person to attend a workplace in person is made clear in the job advert and as such would be allocated to the appropriate geographical location.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 14/09/2021 15:19:32 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
