"Employment specialist support"

About: Thurrock IPS Employment Service

(as a service user),

I was a bit apprehensive when I started working with me Employment Specialist. However, Julie soon put me at ease. She never put me under pressure and listened to me.

I was looking for paid employment but was unsure about going back to work. Julie and I discussed maybe doing some voluntary work to build my confidence and bring my CV up to date.

Julie found me an Admin role and supported me with the application and contacting them on my behalf throughout the process. I have been in the role a couple of months now and am increasing my days. This role has fulfilled the need I had to get out of the house and aid my mental health recovery journey.

I am now not looking for paid employment and feel I am giving back to the community. I cannot thank Julie enough for the support, understanding and opportunity she has given me.
