E started volunteering at a local care home to gain valuable experience and confidence. She was helping to make drinks, chat to residents and help with general clean up. E found this very useful and helped to build her confidence in talking to people. It also gave an insight into the roles available in this industry and what was involved with the work.
In November 2025 E attended an interview arranged by Employment solutions and was delighted to inform us she had got the role. Her confidence and pride in achieving this was evident with her smile when we met to update us.
E has spent the last few weeks going through in-depth training at various locations and after getting her uniform, started her first shadow shift with another carer.
It has been a delight to work with E from the beginning of her joining to her getting the job and finally starting her new role.
Very well-done E, very proud of the confidence you have developed and built, and it has been a pleasure to help you on your journey.
Good luck for the future
On a side note, E was very grateful as Lee from Employment Solutions is able to still help her with travel costs until she receives her first wage. This would have been a barrier however she can relax and know her bus pass is paid for.
