Support finding a new employer...

Changing careers can be a challenge…

BA registered with the employment service in September 2019 and identified that she would like to look for part time roles in warehouses/cleaning/elderly care. BA had previously been a childcare assistant for several years and wanted to move away from this.

Searching…

They attended an interview with a retail store that Working Well Trust had a link with but was unsuccessful due to her availability but had positive feedback.

BA and the Employment Specialist (ES) continued job searching in line with her preferences.

Interviewing…

BA was contacted by a childcare agency she had previously worked for and asked to come for an interview. BA cancelled this twice and when we discussed their reasons it became clear that they wanted to keep childcare roles out of the picture. ES and BA therefore worked together to change her CV to take the emphasis away from childcare so she would not be contacted by agencies.

Success!

BA decided to concentrate on cleaning roles as warehouse work was difficult to find. The ES and BA applied for several roles, and BA heard back from one agency, and was asked to come to an interview. She was offered the role as a house cleaner, and started the next week.
