In black text it says - behind the effort is the redeployment of ยฃ1,000 existing Job centre staff who will provide voluntary help to people on Universal Credit with no requirement to look for work or engage with job help because of their condition - the first national offer of help for this group. 
The work coaches  known as pathways to work advisors are based in every job centre in England Scotland and wales - fullfling the commitment in March to ramp up efforts to get more people into work.  With a target to help 65,000 people with Limited Capability for Work and Work related activity by the end of this financial year
