Finding work

"Finding work"

About: Adult Mental Health Community / IPS Future's Positive - County

(as a service user),

I left my previous job and professional career due to my worsening mental health.

I wasn’t sure that anyone would want to employ me to do something else.

My employment support specialist Raveena helped me develop my CV, search for jobs, apply and gave interview technique advice. I was able to secure a job I really wanted, a new start, and she supported me in the early days too which was very important. Raveena helped me believe in myself again.
