Restart Scheme
When he was referred onto the Restart Scheme, frustration and anxiety had affected Cody’s* behaviour to such an extent he was asked by his parents to move into his Grandparents home to ‘cool off’. At this point, he recognised having a job would help him get his life on track, but with no employment background and little confidence, he was finding it difficult to see a way forward.
Caring duties meant Amber* had been out of the workforce for 17 years and felt unconfident, left behind and unsure of where to start on her job search.
Being made reductant from her hotel job during the pandemic had put a strain on Michelle's finances and forced her and her daughter to move into shared housing. Tired of the verbal abuse from housemates and their drug addiction, Michelle was determined to find work and secure a stable home for herself and her daughter.
Having been out of work for some time, Hayley* wasn’t confident she would find her dream job as a body piercer. But having turned to the Restart Scheme, she had the help she needed to secure a trainee role in the industry within two months.
