Returning to Employment

When first arriving at the CFO Activity Hub in Bristol Ashley* was quiet and nervous. He was struggling to overcome barriers in place to achieving his goals, including returning to employment, having been rejected for multiple roles.
 
To restore his confidence, Ashley* was encouraged to engage with group sessions and to explore some personal hobbies. This helped Ashley* to speak more openly with his Support Worker, as they worked towards achieving his long-and-medium-term goals.
 
To help Ashley* rejoin the labour market, together they updated his CV and disclosure letter, with Ashley* attending a traffic management course to learn new skills.
 
With these new documents, Ashley* got in touch with a local recruitment agency and began working in warehousing. With his employment goal achieved, he was able to push towards his ambition of gaining a university degree, which he is completing alongside work.
 
Whilst his main focus was on employment and education, Ashley* also completed activities around independent living, looking through accommodation options that would be most suitable, and learning to cook for himself.
 
Having taken steps to achieving his goals with the Bristol CFO Activity Hub, Ashley* said: “I would like to thank you for everything else you have done for, not just in the sense of employment but also housing and everyday life. You listened, guided me and put me in touch with everyone else that could help me in my situation. Without your help and support I am sure I would not be in employment and this far along my journey post-release as I would have been otherwise.”

“I enjoy attending employment sessions and it gives me something to do and give back to others.”
