Restart Scheme
Morgan wasn’t expecting to be made redundant during the pandemic from her call centre role she’d held for three years, and her confidence took a knock. Initially, she’d tried a change in career direction back to childcare, her dream role which she held qualifications in. However, her mental health deteriorated each time she was rejected for a role due to lack of recent experience, and she no longer felt she could successfully apply for these vacancies.
Emily, her Job Coach at Business 2 Business, was aware that further rejections could compromise Morgan’s mental health, so she signposted her to a specialist Mental Health Coach for further support. They then sat down to discuss and formalise her positive attributes so Morgan could see all that she had to offer to employers.
Reminded of her transferable skills, Morgan was guided on how to find local nurseries with vacancies which would match her skillset. It wasn’t long before Mogan was invited to interview at a day nursery, and she successfully secured the role as a full-time nursery nurse! Emily couldn’t be prouder:
“I am so pleased with Morgan’s achievements, she addressed her barriers, eventually defeated them and has finally found a job that she thoroughly enjoys. Well done Morgan and all the best for the future!”
