Nearly all of us go through difficult times at some point. Help can be at hand.

The Aberdeenshire Employment Support Team assists anyone who lives within the shire who is actively seeking employment or looking to enter education or training to gain full-time or additional employment.

The team can offer practical assistance if you are returning to the work market after an absence such as raising children, health issues or looking to retrain for a better job.

You can contact the team by phoning 01467 533058 or emailing employmentsupportteam@aberdeenshire.gov.uk
