Fair Start Scotland – Employment support service (Dumfries & Galloway)

Fair Start Scotland is the Scottish Government’s employability support service. It is a voluntary service to help unemployed people who want to work, including those with complex issues, find suitable, sustainable, fair work through a person-centred and tailored support approach.

We tailor our services to meet individual needs and circumstances, with a variety of interventions delivered to meet those needs.
