Nicola’s Success Story

“I cannot fault the service and support I have received which has been excellent.       

Initially, I was encouraged to apply for a role I had not even considered before and the hours of work suited my availability. It was a temporary role from October to December 2020 and I was told that the employers could be flexible around working hours and that they were an understanding and supportive employer, with the possibility of future employment in the New Year.

We completed a Better Off Calculation which motivated me to see the financial benefits of working.  Even on the day of the interview when I was worried about attending, I was encouraged to attend by compliments and recognition of my previous achievements and transferable skills, which gave me the confidence I needed by my Advisor to attend.

The rest is history, following a break in employment due to the pandemic, I returned on 24/05/2021 and have been offered a permanent contract, which I signed on 15th June.

Employment has changed my life completely, firstly for the first time in a long time I am able to buy my children’s school uniforms for September 2021, as I am now becoming financially independent.

My confidence and motivation are at an all-time high, being given the opportunity to try something that I would never have considered doing before, has resulted in a permanent contract being offered by my employers, which I am grateful to them for and has life-changing benefits for me and my family. “
