Since opening in 2018, Smart Works Newcastle has supported over 2000 women into employment. With 69% getting the job.

 

Welcome to Smart Works Newcastle

We support North East women into employment through the power of high quality interview clothing and coaching.

A two hour appointment at Smart Works Newcastle can give women the confidence, to fulfil their potential, get the job, and transform the trajectory of their lives.

Our service can be accessed by all women who are unemployed, aged 16+ and based in the North East.

We operate on a referral basis, partnering with organisations and charities to provide our services to women with upcoming interviews, as well as offering one-to-one career coaching to any woman who can benefit from it.

The centre is run by a close-knit staff team of 5 who are supported by over 40 dedicated volunteers and trustees.

 

 

“The Smart Works Newcastle ladies are great at listening to your needs, then helping find clothes that are comfortable and match your personality. They really boosted my confidence when I came. The interview preparation was really good for helping prepare for the types of Q&A’s I could be asked.

A truly excellent service!”
