Meeting job search requirements
Job search requirements apply to:
- clients and partners with work obligations
To help decide if a client is meeting the job search requirements, you will need to consider the following:
1. If the client (or partner) had the opportunity, would they:
- be available for work of at least 20 hours per week (part-time work obligations)
- be available for work for 30 hours or more a week (full-time work obligations)
- accept any suitable job offers within their abilities
Note that this can include weekend work depending on the client or partner's individual circumstances - not restrict their job search to vacancies within their own trade
- not restrict their job search to vacancies in their chosen occupation
- not move frequently from one area to another with no intention of getting a job
2. Has the client (or partner) begun to take steps to find work? For example by:
- searching newspapers and other media for vacancies
- making applications for suitable jobs
- contacting employers about vacancies
