REWORK
took the time to listen and have helped me develop my confidence.
My dream has always been to work in a beauty shop. With Workplace’s
help I have managed to gain an NVQ in customer service while
completing a placement at a beauty shop.
I have now given up my incapacity benefit and with the support
of REWORK I have managed to make the transition from being unemployed
for 14 years in to a part-time job at a beauty store. They have
helped with benefits and applying for working tax credits. They
have also been there for me in the difficult early weeks of
my new job. My confidence has now improved and things are better.
I would like to say a big thank you to Working Well. |
