Kickstart Northern Devon
The Government announced a £2 billion fund to high quality 6-month work placements for young people aged 16-24, who are claiming Universal Credit. With the support of our local authorities, Torridge District Council & North Devon Council, Barnstaple Chamber & North Devon Plus are a recognised Gateway for employers, providing support to micro and small businesses who would like to register for the scheme, but are unable to act on their own behalf with 30 placements.
IMPORTANT: If you have arrived at this page without registering your interest for the Scheme with us first, please visit our main Kickstart page to begin the process. This full application should only be completed after you have been invited to do so by our Northern Devon Gateway team, as to complete this without registering your interest first could delay your application.

Additional information gathered in relation to this application may be held by Barnstaple Chamber and North Devon Plus. The information you provide will be used by both parties and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to make a decision regarding your request for an award from the Kickstart Scheme.
All applications for grants may be reviewed in the future and you should be aware that if you make a statement which you know to be false or do not believe to be true to the best of your knowledge then you may potentially commit a criminal offence.
