What's your experience with work coaches?

I’ve written about this before and currently have no interaction with the work coaches, although I know this will change once my youngest child is 13.

When my child reaches 13 next year, I will have to find more working hours. At the moment I’m working 28 hours a week to fit around my children. I will possibly be subjected to job centre visits and once again talking to the work coaches who treat me like a number - a part of the job they must finish, it’s a tick box exercise . Most will not help me to find more work. I just hope I will find a full time job by then.
