A Remarkable Journey!
We’ve got a brilliant story to share. Our client’s journey began with a self-referral after a difficult period of rough sleeping and instability. He had one main goal: to secure full-time employment and regain his independence. His determination has been nothing short of inspiring.
We’ve been working together to provide a comprehensive package of support, helping him get back on his feet. This included:
Universal Credit & Financial Support: We’ve been supporting him with his Universal Credit claim. We’ve also helped him apply for a hardship payment to cover essential needs like food and travel, and we’re currently waiting for it to be processed.
Housing & Security: After we reported a safeguarding concern, we worked alongside the ESOL’s safeguarding team to help him secure temporary accommodation, providing him with a safe and stable environment. We’ve also created a strategic plan to find a permanent home once he’s secured his job.
Employment & Skills: We provided support with his CV and cover letters and helped him with a successful job application. We also arranged training for his CSCS card and supported him to the interview at Simon Charles Warehouse.
A Job Offer & Practical Help: He was offered a full-time job, and the company has even agreed to provide his forklift training on-site! We’ve also put a referral through to the Working Wardrobe for the correct work boots and attire he needs to start.
This story is a true testament to what can be achieved with a strong will and the right support. He has been incredibly proactive every step of the way, and we’re so proud to see him at the final stage of finding a home to cement his new start.
