I have been receiving support for the last five years from the Future's Positive Team at Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, since being referred by my clinician. Throughout that time, the Employment Specialists have helped me with job searching, finding work experience placements, and recently helped me find paid employment which they have helped me maintain. Andrew spent a lot of time working with me to find and apply for jobs in the local area. He spoke to employment agencies and potential employers on my behalf. We managed to secure a couple of interviews. Andrew helped me to prepare for these, and at the last interview I was selected for the role. This role is a part-time role, which is very convenient hours and allowed me to keep my benefits. I have been in this role for over two months now and Andrew has dealt with any queries that I have had about my pay and benefits, and helped me to notify the DWP about the change in my circumstances. Andrew has put together a wellness plan with me, which should help me to stay healthy and in my employment.
