We should like to say a big “Thankyou!” to Chevin Housing, the local housing
association which supports Newground Together. With our local councillors, they funded us to provide our Employment Support Project in Darnall.
Their
grants enabled Nazia Fazil, our employment adviser, to support 18 people into employment
in various sectors including retail, call centres, care work, cleaning,
lunchtime supervision in schools, warehousing and admin.
Alongside
this 31 other people have been supported into training and volunteering to
improve their skills, including help with careers’ advice, CV writing, job
applications, using email to search for work, interview techniques, covering
letters, confidence building, IT and retail skills.
She
has also provided in-work support once people started their new jobs.
Once
person said, "Nazia, has been very helpful. I have had a great
experience and got a better understanding for when I was looking for work. She
helped me to do a CV and apply for jobs. Within a few weeks I managed to get a
full time position at a call centre as a customer service advisor. Without her
help I wouldn’t have a job today.’’
To
find out more Tel. 0114 249 0099 Monday - Wednesday and ask for Nazia.
