Career potential. Powered up.

At Back to Work, we exist to unlock potential – for individuals who deserve better opportunities and employers who need skilled people to grow. 

In a world where talent and opportunity often fail to connect, we bridge that gap. We believe everyone deserves the chance to build a meaningful career, and every business deserves access to skilled, motivated people.

Our vision

Our vision is simple: a future where unemployment becomes a stepping stone, not a dead end, and where businesses and our local communities can find the talent they need to thrive.

  • 100% government-funded training that removes barriers and creates access for all. 
  • Employment outcomes focus - We measure success by careers launched, not certificates issued. Every course is designed for job placement, not just qualification achievement.
  • Sectoral expertise in growing industries – Specialised programmes in digital skills, logistics, customer service, construction and technology – the sectors where jobs are actually growing.
  • Dual impact model – Unlike single-focus providers, we simultaneously solve employer talent shortages and individual employment barriers – creating a perfect match between supply and demand.
  • Proven scale and experience – As part of the Leep Group, training over 10,000 people annually, we have the infrastructure, partnerships, and track record to deliver consistent results across the UK.

 

How we do it

Our values

We believe the traditional approach to skills, training and hiring is no longer enough.

Too many people are overlooked. Too many businesses face talent shortages. Too much potential goes untapped.

Our purpose is to change that, and to help individuals and organisations find their edge and grow further.

Ambitious

We’re ambitious about what we can achieve and the impact our services can have on people. We empower both our colleagues and customers with the tools and support to reach their full potential, positively challenging each other to grow and develop. 

People First

We take the wellbeing of our colleagues, customers, and partners seriously. We value diversity, always showing respect towards other people and approaching our work and responsibilities from a position of care and compassion towards others. 

Continuous Improvement

We believe continuous improvement is the key to long term success both for individuals and collectively for us as a group.  We strive for excellence in the quality of our services, and we operate in an ongoing cycle of review, reflect, and improve.

Pride

We take personal ownership for delivering excellence to both our internal and external customers. We hold ourselves accountable to high standards and we are proud of what we do both as an organisation and as individuals.  

Meet the Team

Meet the senior leadership at Back to Work, who are responsible for creating and nurturing our culture – one which values how we work as much as our achievements.
