Grainne Kiely was unemployed for Six Months before gaining the opportunity as a Support worker at Axiom Housing. She started on13th April 2010.“Before I started I was so happy that I was going to be able to start work again. To get a chance like this means a lot to me as it will give me the opportunity to gain many new experiences and skills in a job role that I would very much like to do in the future.”
“I help maintain the day-to-day running of the project at Fair View Court and I also ensure the provision of a supportive and structured environment which both encourages and enables residents to live as independently as possible helping them to build confidence and develop as responsible adults. I am also doing a club on a Tuesday evening where I sit with residents and go through different computer courses and help to teach them how to use them.”
“Whilst I have been at Fair View Court I have done a basic maths course and am hoping to do an ITQ qualification in the near future. I am also hoping to do a first aid and health and safety in the workplace course. But I have particularly enjoyed doing the training on safeguarding vulnerable adults.”
“I would like to thank everyone at Axiom for giving me this opportunity and helping me better my skills and qualifications. You have all been so great.”
“The Future Jobs Fund scheme is a great opportunity to get more experience within you desired job role. They can also offer many great courses throughout your time and are always willing to help.”
