New Start - our career starter programme is back with new opportunities now available in the Teesside area as part of the Tees Valley Move Forward programme.
In the latest edition of At home with Karbon, we met up with Ayesha Adris, who recently managed to find a fantastic job opportunity through New Start.
Ayesha, who is 39, was originally from Pakistan, but moved to Middlesbrough 17 years ago with her husband and children. She’s now working as an Administration Assistant at Nur Fitness.
“When you come over from Pakistan and your English is not as good, it’s quite hard to settle in and it can affect your confidence. I wanted to find work where I can help women in the community with their mental health.
“Working for a place like Nur Fitness has been great. I’m able to tell people that they can come here where it’s a comfortable environment where there are loads of opportunities to exercise and take part in free courses – it’s a big help.
“I’d struggled with interviews, not just because of the language barrier but also because I didn’t have the qualifications. With New Start, Graeme, our career advisor, was able to help us with our CVs and give us advice for interviews. He helped me with my nerves and showed me how to speak more confidently about the skills I have.”
New Start is an employability programme that can help unlock your potential, addressing your barriers to employment and supporting you to find the new start you’ve been looking for.
You will receive 121 support from an Employment Advisor during the recruitment process and your fixed term role. This will help you get the most of your experience and help you jump into your next role.
We now have a range of vacancies across Tees Valley. These roles have been specifically created for residents of Tees Valley (Middlesbrough, Stockton, Darlington, Redcar, Hartlepool and Cleveland) aged 18+. You need to either be in receipt of sickness related benefits, or not claiming any benefits at all.
Please note – these roles are exclusively part of the funded Move Forward programme and will therefore require you to be eligible and registered on the Move Forward programme to apply for these roles. You can register here.
