  • Data is correct as of the end of October 2023 and has been rounded to the nearest 10.
  • For the purposes of answering this question the Disability Employment Adviser (DEA) activity has been used.
  • DEAs support Work Coaches and Jobcentre colleagues in situations where claimants present with complex employment circumstances involving health and disability issues. Support to Work Coaches include upskilling, case conferencing and facilitating three-way conversations with claimants.
  • DEAs are not based in Youth Hubs but support Youth Hub Work Coaches and Youth Employability Coaches.
  • Figures were derived from the department’s Activity Based Model (ABM), which provides full time equivalent (FTE) figures based on point in time estimate by line managers. They cover only FTE staff with paid employment. No overtime FTE is included.
  • The number of DEA Work Coaches is unpublished management information, collected and intended for internal department use and has not been quality assured to National Statistics or Official Statistics standard. As the department holds the information, we have released it.
