When Fiona was made redundant, she faced the challenge of finding new employment whilst managing increasing financial pressures. Unsure of her next steps, she was introduced to the Connect to Work programme at a local jobs fair.

✅ A vocational profile and tailored action plan
✅ CV development and job search support
✅ Interview preparation and recruitment guidance
✅ Help with onboarding and employment checks
✅ Ongoing in-work support

Thanks to her determination and the right support, Fiona successfully secured a part-time Care Assistant role and is now thriving in employment. 🎉
