Delivering Specialist Back to Work Support

Ixion is a growing not-for-profit organisation that is part of the £140m Anglia Ruskin University, delivering government funded provision since 1995.

We currently have provision across the South East, North East, London, East Midlands, North West and East of England.

We deliver end-to-end and specialist back to work support to the hardest-to-help customer groups. In the past 12 months, on our DWP contracts alone (JCPSC, FND, FJF, CTF etc), we have touched the lives of over 7000 people. Particularly those that are most disadvantaged i.e. Offenders, Lone Parents, Young People, BAME groups, people with disabilities and the self-employed. Our University’s award-winning Employment Bureau (EB) also has the expertise to specifically work with undergraduates and graduates looking for temporary, permanent, and part-time opportunities.

We deliver our employability contracts using the expertise from our £20m Business links East of England contract where we engaged with over 98,000 employers in 2009/10 which was 3000 over the performance target, making it the second best performing Business Link in the UK. We offer a specialist employer engagement service through our Contact Centre and field based Employer Consultants. By utilising our database of over 3.5 million businesses we offer Job/candidate matching, managing interviews, in-work support, post-employment IAG and account management systems similar to the services we provided to the 168,000 employers on our London Brokerage contract.

By using input from Anglia Ruskin University, the University of Queensland, the Sainsbury Centre, CLUE Sweden and Dr Martin Seligman we are also providing effective employability and psycho-social reform techniques; specifically focused on the specific techniques required for the 500,000 that are expected to be migrating from Incapacity Benefit to JSA/employment.

However, we can not deliver local sustainable solutions to reduce poverty, remove barriers to work or support a bigger society on our own. We need the support of experienced local organisations that are innovative and specialists and can provide local sustained solutions.
