Alex Amoss was unemployed for just over 1 year before being given the opportunity to get back into work as a Care Support Worker with Peterborough Council Voluntary Services (PCVS). He started on 15th February.“My role involves me helping out carers with things like filling in forms for finding funding for day trips and projects. As part of this I am required to do general admin duties, go to meetings about how carers need help and what carer’s views or problems are.”
“Since I’ve been here I’ve very much enjoyed the home visits as you get to meet some real characters and so many great people. Being part of the home visit team is great and you get to see people and how happy they are with the help you are giving.”
“I feel so happy to have this job. I feel it’s given me a purpose again, and the opportunity to get a better understanding of what carers go through and have to deal with. I have learnt so much already and hope to continue to progress and learn.”
“The managers and staff here are simply great; they are all down to earth and very professional. They always encourage your development and make work a fun place to be.”
When we asked Alex about the Future Jobs Fund project, he said “For everyone who is already on the Future Jobs Fund scheme we should all be thankful for this great opportunity but for all those who are not, but could be, go to the Job Centre and find out more now.”
