Depends on the staff’s permissions level assigned by their Managers.

Always check your staff’s permissions tab and make sure the proper permissions are checked. If staff is still having problems, reach out to your QAC’s and the SSM team at: dmalcolm@workforcewindsoressex.com.

Staff can invite a client into the portal by creating a + email that would be sent to the case worker’s inbox by linking the client’s name to their email. For example, if case worker John Smith wants an account for their client James Hamilton, they would input their clients email as jameshamilton+johnsmith@gmail.com, and the client can change their email after they create a personal email.

Make sure the email address is correct, then ask the client to check their spam or junk folder, and resend the password link. If this does not work, reach out to the SSM team for possible IT issues at: dmalcolm@workforcewindsoressex.com.

This document outlines the necessary steps for changing a client’s email address in the Job Portal, whether initiated by the client or by service provider staff. It also provides guidance for cases where the email address is incorrect or inaccessible to the client.

When a caseworker updates a client’s email address in the Job Portal, the following steps must be completed for the change to take effect:

  1. Initiate Change: The caseworker edits the email address in the client overview section.
  2. Client Confirmation: For the change to take effect, the client must:
  3. Click the link in the automated email they receive.
  4. Complete a new login using the updated email address.

Important Note: The client’s email address also serves as their username. This process ensures that the client is aware of the change and can still access the Job Portal. If the client does not click the link and complete the login, the updated email address will not take effect. This step-by-step confirmation process is crucial to maintain account security and ensure that clients are informed of changes to their account information.

They may not have had an email at the time of registering and a ‘fake’ email was created for their account, or the email was changed or entered incorrectly. In either case, a caseworker can update their email address in the client’s profile. When the email is changed, an email will be sent to the client using this new email address, asking them to confirm the change by logging in to their account. The client will have to use the ORIGINAL email to log-in to their account and accept this change. This original email will be noted in the confirmation email to clients. If a client is new to the portal, this process may be done in assistance of their caseworker.

Please see a screenshot below of the email that will be sent to client’s when their email address is changed.
