Claire, from Wishaw, joined the Fair Start Scotland service in August 2022 after being unemployed for one year. Claire, 24, had previously worked in a call centre but left the role as a result of stress and severe anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her anxiety had also caused Claire to stop attending university, which negatively impacted her confidence and self-esteem.<\/p>\n

Claire was introduced to Nicola Rigby, her Key Worker, who set up weekly one-on-one appointments to help improve her confidence speaking to people and encourage her to move out of her comfort zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After building up her confidence for a few months, Claire then started attending group employability development sessions. These gave Claire the opportunity to be more comfortable in group settings and learn about what jobs she could do.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Claire was supported to create a CV and identify her transferable skills. After hearing about a few career options during her development sessions Claire expressed an interest in finding a role in administration.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t have any specific experience or qualifications in the sector, so Nicola referred her to Citizens Advice Bureau to Careers programme, which offers participants a free four-week course enabling them to gain an administration qualification.<\/p>\n

After completing the four-week training course, Claire then began volunteering with the Citizens Advice bureau to further develop her skills and gain further experience. Claire excelled during her time volunteering and was offered a paid position with the team as an Admin Assistant in January 2024.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the support she received from Remploy, Claire said:<\/strong> \u201cI was supported from the very start of my time on the programme by my first Key Worker who helped me figure out ways I could build up my confidence. Remploy had originally helped me get into the Citizens Advice Bureau to Careers programme where I began volunteering one day a week. I now have a part-time position here and I love it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
