The work coach at the work center says they are struggling to find employers who can absorb the disabled and enter the work.

The British Broadcasting Corporation spoke to age trainers, who said that opportunities are difficult to reach for those who suffer from long -term health conditions who may need a level of flexibility or additional support.

This comes as the new data obtained by the BBC from the Ministry of Labor and Pensions (DWP) indicates that the number of job seekers find work every month decreases.

“They repair a broken system by converting our focus from social care to work, skills and opportunities – supported by two million pounds annually to support employment by the end of the contract,” says DWP.

There is a shortage of employers who are able to provide support at the workplace to those who suffer from long -term health conditions, the 15 -year -old work coach, Mark Bayers, a 15 -year -old coach and deputy in the Public and Commercial Services Syndicate,.

He says that work coaches are extended while trying to manage their cases, adding that his work burden has increased significantly since he started the task.

“It seems that you are fighting with one arm behind your back,” he says.

“All appointments are 10 minutes, and as soon as you pass the security checks, there is not much time. These short dates mean that you are just a benefits policeman.”

According to the latest estimates, more than half (53 %) of persons with disabilities of working age, compared to more than four out of five (82 %) of non -disabled people.

Disability employment rate has not been improved since 2019.

In general, the average proportion of those demanding benefits successfully decreased every month – known as the work price – as well.

It was 7.6 % in the year to April 2025, less than prenatal levels and a decrease of about 10 % in mid -2012.

There were 16,640 coaches working at DWP in August, according to the data obtained by requesting freedom of information (FOI) – the lowest number since March of last year and much less than the peak of Covid, which exceeds 23,000 in 2021.

But DWP is now offered to have more work trainers than he needs, after she was estimated in thousands earlier in the year.

He created a backup capacity by Reducing the amount of support For demands all over the country, including the shortcomings of initial meetings and the reduction of the number of follow -up dates.

Previously, the General Accounts Committee criticized what it described as “the assurances that seem satisfied with the DWP, that this reduction in support had a little impact on the claimants.”

In March, the government said this He wanted to republish 1,000 working trainers To provide dedicated and “condensed” support for thousands of patients and disabled.

The re -published work coaches are not new recruits, but the ministers hope to help the government’s ambition to achieve a total rate of 80 % and reduce the increasing cost of health and disability.

Saul Kahil, a working coach at a crowded work center in Gethored and the scars of other computers unions, says people with health conditions and disabled people are often more difficult to support them at work.

He says delay in other services such as NHS means that it may take longer to find a suitable person.

One person was supporting him, who says he was “truly involved” in their search for work – although there was a long -term health condition, which means that he was not asked to do so – he was in his cases since he started four years ago.

Saul says that many employers are unable to absorb some disabilities, while time restrictions also mean that he cannot help them as much as he wants.

“I may be sitting with a person, on paper, doing all the right things and does not seem to receive any response,” he says.

“I would like to sit with them (and) go through job applications together, and this is not necessarily possible.

“People feel very frustrated.”

About 1.6 million global credit claims in the category of “extensive research”.

It is decent and able to work, but it either does not work or work with very low profits.

These demands need great support from a working trainer, including the weekly meeting for the first 13 weeks of their demand, or weekly or two weeks after that.

Nearly 300,000 intensive demands to search for work were looking for a job for more than five years, 18 % of the total.

Data from August shows that there are 95 demands to search for intense work for each working trainer.

The work center financing allows an average presence of about 100, according to the National Audit Office (NAO).

But there are regional differences in the average cases that are managed by work coaches throughout the country.

The highest cases were in Birmingham and Solhoul, as it reached 115 demands on average for each work coach, and the lowest level in the southwest of Wales with 79.

Throughout Great Britain, the number of people demanding global credit without work condition – including those who are considered unable to work due to health disorder – rose from less than 700,000 in January 2020 to more than 3.8 million in August 2025.

Part of the height of claims is due to the transfer of people to comprehensive credit from the previous benefits, such as the employment and support allowance (ESA).

but Analysis by the thought reservoir in the decision of the decision The offers were also a real rise in the number of people suffering from work due to health disorder.

In September, the new Minister of Labor and Pensions said it is guarantee Reforming the well -being “must happen” To support people at work and address the increasing cost of benefits.

During the summer, the government Wallow To reduce approximately 5 billion pounds from the benefits of health -related benefits as it faced a rebellion from work deputies.

Many of the most important changes are now subject to the review of the Minister of Disability Sir Stephen Tims.

But McFAFAN said that social welfare reform “is happening all the time,” adding that he will not rule out any changes.

He added that the current system is “not getting assistance for people who can work.”

A DWP spokesman said that “the ministers” provide the largest reforms to job centers since the early first decade of the twentieth century to end the culture of the tick fund, giving employees flexibility to provide a more customized service to job seekers and help them in good and safe jobs. “

“To help areas with the highest levels of economic inactivity, we offer a program to link job offers, health and skills to the people they need.”
