I was unemployed for 5 months before getting the position of Administrator Assistant/Event co-ordinator at the Peterborough Women’s Enterprise Centre.I heard about the Future Job Fund through a friend who attended the job centre and saw it advertised.
I’m now on my fourth week in my new job role and am thoroughly enjoying it.
I’ve was out work for 5 months before hearing about this scheme. It’s been nice to get back into working in a job that suits me.
My job role involves various different duties such as helping organise events we run, promoting the business on the street, taking/making phone calls, keeping track of client records on the spreadsheet database, running the website and stock taking.
The most interesting thing I’ve done so far was on my first week when we had our Launch party. I really enjoyed getting involved in all the preparation for it and helping run it as well. It was a great experience as over 100 city dignitaries attended and was supported by big press coverage.
I’ve been here for 4 weeks and have been assisting with the event co-ordinating and administration. Georgette Rouncefield, the Head of Peterborough women’s enterprise centre has given me a range of exciting projects to work on, such as helping out a lot during our launch party, playing a big part in our clothes exchange room. I’ve also done some of the courses we run in the centre such as body language and building confidence which I think will give me a greater depth of experience to add to my CV and its been hugely beneficial for me getting back into full time work and has given me chances to do relevant courses to further my knowledge in my career.
The people I work with are all kind, lovely people who I get on well with. All of them have been a great help since I’ve been here and made me feel like part of the team.
The Future Jobs Fund team are all very friendly and helpful people. They’ve been there to offer me useful advice and guidance into finding this job which I’m very happy with. Even now they keep in touch with me and assist with any queries or concerns I have. I don’t think people are aware of how much support in finding a job through the Future Job Fund there is. I would encourage anybody out of work to get in touch with The Future Job Fund to find out more.
