The mums on a mission to get back into work. We follow the unique 12-week course helping mums on benefits get back into employment. But can they secure a job?

As the cost-of-living crisis continues to put pressure on British families, we follow a unique free scheme in the west helping mums get back into work. All of the mums on the 12-week Women’s Work Lab course receive benefits. 80% are single parents. All are determined to take their first steps back into employment.

We see two mums through the ups and downs of the transformative experience as they embark on a mission to try and get a job. From meeting other mothers with shared experiences, to getting help with new outfits, to undertaking placements in a busy office. Show less
