Description

Ageing Better and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) have been working in partnership since 2016 to build the evidence base on effective employment support for over 50s, with the aim of developing and testing a new approach for this group. Ultimately, Ageing Better would like to use this evidence to encourage more places to commission effective services and to influence government to fund a national employment support service for over 50s.

The next stage in this process involves GMCA commissioning an employment support programme for economically inactive residents, with tailored support for individuals. As part of this programme there will be a specific element of support for those aged 50+. The 50+ offer is based on co-design work carried out by Humanly in partnership with GMCA, DWP and Centre for Ageing Better developing and testing new ideas on how to achieve better employment outcomes for over 50s.

This contract focuses on the evaluation of the 50+ offer, although the evaluation will need to set that specific offer in the context of the wider pilot programme.
