💙 Kit’s Story 💙 Kit started our service with a clear goal: to work in a administrative role. They were getting interviews but not passing them, and they were feeling discouraged. They felt they were not able to demonstrate their suitability for the role, and they had limited experience in administration. Kit was looking for an administrative apprenticeship, but they only had experience working with their mother, which they felt they could not use in applications because it was not paid or volunteer work. We helped Kit identify barriers to employment, including application forms and reasonable adjustments. We also discussed ADHD traits and how they might present in the workplace. Kit was feeling particularly down about their work prospects so we decided to focus in job searching while continuing to work on barriers. With help and support from our amazing team Kit got an interview for an Apprentice Admin Position at Flexowash. After a successful interview Kit secured the apprenticeship and has now started in the role! 🙌 To read more about Kit’s story, please use the following link: https://lnkd.in/eUX_-B7t
