A journey with our Employment Support Hub

A Horsham resident came to the Hub experiencing a period of unemployment that was impacting their mental health and self-confidence.

Personalised service

Following a detailed assessment, a Personal Development Plan was co-created. The team identified their passion for writing and helped explore realistic pathways into work.

Tailored support included:

  • Confidence building: the team helped by suggesting structured tasks to rebuild routine and self-esteem.
  • CV redesign: their CV was updated to highlight skills and writing achievements to give them a more competitive profile
    for employers.
  • Portfolio development: working through ways to enhance digital presence and engagement with a wider audience.

Outcomes

They now have a clear roadmap for their future career and most importantly have gained confidence and motivation.

The Empower Your Future Programme is delivered by recruitment specialists Adam Knight & Associates in collaboration with Horsham District Council, funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
