Call For Residents To Help On Action Days

Residents living in the Herlington area of Orton Malborne are being invited to help on a project to visually improve their community as part of action days commencing on Thursday 26 May 2011.

Cross Keys Homes and the SaferPeterborough partnership are holding the two, two-day action days on Thursday 26 May and Friday 27 May, and also on Thursday 2 June and Friday 3 June.
The action days will consist of removing graffiti, replanting flowerbeds, painting bollards, clearing rubbish and generally making the area more attractive.

Local schools are also being invited to join in and take part in a competition to design a new Herlington sign for the area.

Cross Keys Homes’ director of operations, Claire Higgins, said: “These action days are all about making a difference to where people live and also giving local residents the opportunity to talk to people representing those services that are so vital to the city, such as the police and the fire service, about what’s happening locally and those things that might be worrying them. There can be a whole range of concerns, for example anti–social behaviour in the area or a genuine fear of crime that might be being felt.

"We really hope to meet as many local residents that we can so that we can continue to make progress on our role as being more than just a landlord in the city by listening to what matters to people and doing something about it as well as improving the overall living environment for all residents."

Lisa Emmanuel, south area neighbourhood manager for the SaferPeterborough partnership, said: “The response from residents wanting to take part in the action days has been great and we look forward to helping the local community improve the area in which they live. The project has been supported by several organisations and a partnership approach to improving neighbourhoods strengthens the sustainability of the work we are undertaking.”

This community project is a multi-agency project in support of Cross Keys Homes’ promise known as a ‘local offer’ about improving services and working with other organisations to address particular local concerns. This project was identified by local residents who were keen to see the area improved.

The project will end with a street party event - ‘The Big Lunch’ - on Saturday, June 4 from 12 noon until 2pm, for all those who took part in the project to come together and celebrate. It is hoped the winning school will also be announced on the day.

For further information about this event or to register your interest in helping out, call Rebecca Cook on: 01733 864567.

If you are a local company who would like to donate any plants, paint or equipment to this project, please also call Rebecca on the above telephone number.

Bourne band Powersurge need your text votes

TEXT votes are desperately needed to help a young rock band get through to the national final of a talent competition.

Bourne band PowerSurge failed to win the judges’ vote at the regional finals of the Live and Unsigned competition at Bedford Corn Exchange on Saturday last week - but they still have a chance of success.

The 16 acts which didn’t get through have been thrown a lifeline and must now battle it out to win the highest number of text votes from their fans.

Will Beavis, Ben Keast, James Bailey, Josh Henson and AJ Thomas, who are all 12 and 13, are currently at the top of the leaderboard and are hoping to win so they can take part in the final at London’s O2 Arena on July 23 and be in with a chance of winning a recording contract, festival slots and a UK tour.

Drummer Will said: “To all those who couldn’t come and watch us perform, please support us now by texting - we need you all to vote and keep voting. This is our dream.”

PowerSurge has just more than a week to secure as many votes as possible to get them to the final.

Live and Unsigned is the largest national music competition for unsigned original musicians and bands in the UK so a place in the final would be a major boost for their future career.

To vote for the boys text “wildcard 304” to 84222. Texts cost £1 plus the cost of a text message.
Voting will then close at midday on Wednesday, May 25

“As a Learner Engagement Administrator I am responsible for Processing learner certificates, learner record keeping, awarding body registrations, compiling survey results, invoicing, web-based research and general admin duties.” “I have really enjoyed working for Intraining. The people within our team have made me feel really welcome; the working environment is so relaxed. I have particularly enjoyed working within North East team and was very pleased to hear that they were thrilled with my contribution to their team.”

“I would like to thank all of the Future Jobs Fund Team who have all been so helpful and nice throughout my time on the FJF scheme.”

When asked about the Future Jobs Fund and its benefits. Hannah said “I would have definitely recommend this scheme to others but was disappointed to hear it was coming to an end, it is such a great way to get into work whilst giving you the chance to learn whilst earning a wage.”

Meet Hannah Harding

Hannah Harding was unemployed for over 6 months before gaining the opportunity to get back into work at Opportunity Peterborough as a Team Assistant. Hannah started on the 22 November 2011.

Opportunity Peterborough is an Urban Regeneration Company in the United Kingdom, established in April 2005, to manage the billion pound transformation of Peterborough and to ensure that the city centre develops in parallel with Peterborough's planned growth. Urban Regeneration Companies are private companies that seek to achieve a radical physical transformation of their areas through master planning and co-ordinating financial assistance to developers from both the public and private sector. Opportunity Peterborough is a company limited by guarantee provided by three partners - Peterborough City Council, the East of England Development Agency and national regeneration agency English Partnerships.

“As a Team Assistant I am responsible for providing administrative services along with booking rooms for courses and meetings, this includes setting the rooms up before and after the meetings. I have to open up our two big meeting rooms. I then lay out the room in boardroom style. Also I get all the teas and coffees and any snacks that they might want. When the meetings are having their breaks, I go in and re do all the coffees and teas for when they come back in. I also answer the telephones and deal with issues and take messages.”

“My first two weeks were really good. Everyone in the office helped me out a lot. They often showed me new things and how to best do the tasks I would be undertaking.”

“I have really enjoyed working for Opportunity Peterborough, as the working environment is so relaxed and I have found everyone easy to get on with and helpful. My line manager is really easy to talk to about everything and anything, and has always been so understanding.”

“I would like to thank all of the Future Jobs Fund Team as they have always been so helpful and have always helped when I’ve needed something sorting out.”

When asked about the Future Jobs Fund and its benefits. Hannah said “I would say the Future Jobs Fund has been very helpful for unemployed people and has helped me learn many new skills.”

David Rae-Clarke - Assistant Technical Officer for Pathology at Peterborough City Hospital

When I got offered the Assistant Technical Officer position I felt as if I had won the lottery as the position was directly in the field of work that I wanted to go into.

Before hearing about the position, I had all but given up hope of finding a job working in a laboratory and felt that the only option left for me was seasonal work in the retail industry. Upon hearing that I had received the position, I was delighted and promised myself to make the most of the experience.

My role within the laboratory consists of me labelling, booking in, loading and unloading samples. Restocking and replacing items. Sterilising the work areas and equipment. Finding samples for more tests.

For the first week I was very nervous when I wasn’t being supervised and could hardly remember any of the scientist’s names. I would return home form work tired but happy. Nevertheless, I very quickly began to feel like part of the group, talking and joking more with the other scientist.

My supervisor (Jayne) has been continually supportive of me throughout my placement. She has made sure that I was never given tasks that she knew I couldn’t carry out and made sure to keep my work challenging.

This scheme is ideal for unemployed people who are enthusiastic about starting a career but have no or little work experience. The support you get both in the work place and from The Future Job Fund has been fantastic. As well as that, I have had the opportunity to undergo training programmes such as First Aid and Health and Safety. The scheme has made me far more confident about myself and my future.

David Schulz - Training Officer Clinical Biochemistry

Hi Gary, Just thought I would drop you a line to thank you and your staff for the great job you have done with the FJF project. The four people we have had during phase 1 and 2 have been a credit to your scheme. They have had a great experience here with us and have been an invaluable asset to us. So much so that three have already found work with us, the last one is awaiting an interview for a position here. It is such a shame the scheme is coming to an end, but if, in the future, another similar scheme is made available, please do not hesitate to give us a call, because we would, as a department, be only too pleased to participate. These sentiments have been expressed by all members of staff in the department, and we consider these people very much part of the team here in the biochemistry lab. Yours sincerely David Schulz Training Officer Clinical Biochemistry Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS

Samantha Wright - Vivacity - Library Assistant

When I first started my job at the library I thought it would be quite boring and I would gain no new skills. But now I think it is a brilliant place to work. I learn something new everyday, work with great people and meet various, different customers which completes the package.

Working with young children is the best part of my job. Learning their different reactions to different stories and activities is always fun.

The only negative I have in regards to the Future Jobs Fund is that the job is only for six months.

Meet Lauren Cade

Dear Future Jobs Fund

As you are aware, I have been offered full-time permanent work. I am due to start with Farsight as a CCTV operator.

You will also know (from my FJF employee manger) that I truly believe in the Future Jobs Fund initiative and feel very lucky and grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of it. Working with the Wildlife Trust for 4 months has defiantly improved my confidence and has helped me to gain and develop transferable workplace skills. I have no doubt in my mind that this placement has untimely led to me gaining full-time employment with Farsight.

I have really enjoyed my time spent with the Wildlife Trust, they offered fantastic training opportunities and tailored my work plan to suit my skills and areas of interest; for example, working with the Community Payback. I most enjoyed my time spent there because of all the wonderful (and unique) staff from across the 4 Counties.

Thank you very much for all the opportunities.

““The FJF scheme helped increase my employability as well as providing valuable guidance and opportunities to help towards a full-time occupation I wouldn't have had the experience to apply for. I have definitely improved my telephone manner and database skills whilst working for the NHS.”

“I would definitely recommend the FJF as it has helped me greatly and I’ve appreciated the opportunity so much, i have met so many great people through my work and the FJF team. The scheme has helped me to increase my employability and offer their guidance/experience.”

The Big Tidy Up volunteers came together to clean up the streets of Peterborough.

Volunteers were armed with litter pickers and bin bags for the week-long Big Tidy Up event, from 31 Jan to 4 Feb.

Not one empty can or discarded crisp packet escaped attention, as the volunteers left no stone unturned in their quest for city cleanliness.

It was Peterborough’s second Big Tidy Up event and was organised by Lee Wyer from the Future Jobs Fund team.

Lee issued an appeal for participants several weeks ago and was swamped with volunteers eager to take part in making their neighbourhoods cleaner places to live. The Parnwells and Werrington Big Tidy Ups were supported by some members of the Future Jobs Fund team.

Lee Wyer, event organiser said: “It was great to see people taking the time out to make a difference to the place where they live.”

“We had great fun getting involved with the local residents help them make their neighbourhoods a cleaner place to be.

Sophie Pinto, from the FJF team said “We found a lot of empty beer cans and other rubbish. Knowing that I have helped clean up a residential area has given me a great sense of pride.”

The Big Tidy Ups this year managed to fill well over 50 Bags with litter.

Railworld

One of the reasons the Future Jobs Fund in Peterborough has been so successful is because of the hard work of both the employees and employers.

One partnership that has seen the benefits of having Future Jobs Fund employees has been Railworld. Railworld was developed from the Nene Valley Railway (NVR), which opened in 1977. Since then it has been through many changes, but Railworld is now a fun and informative visiting attraction for the whole family.

Brian Pearce a representative from Railworld said “I can't imagine life without the help of our Future Jobs Fund employees. They have given so much to Railworld and have made a real difference.”

“They have recently helped with the building of a habitat for our wildlife and an interesting and exciting place for us all to learn about nature and our environment. As you can see from the pictures they have been real helping hand.”

One proud FJF employee’s parent said “I can't believe how much he likes it. He has never had a job before! He doesn't seem to stop talking about what he is doing. He has been taking pictures on his phone of the steps he has made and the crazy paving!! It makes it all worth while.”

Becky Cook, who is the Railworld FJF employees’ Employee Manager from the FJF team, said, “The Future Jobs Fund employees are making real difference at Railworld and it has been a real eye opener to the great work they have achieved in such a sort space of time.”

The Future Jobs Fund Jobs Fair

In Peterborough, Sustainability plays a big part within the Future Jobs Fund project. The key intention of the project, from a wider perspective, has been to ensure the project creates a lasting benefit for the community and a lasting legacy to the City.

With this in mind, Insiya Salam, Employer Engagement Manager for the Future Jobs Fund team, decided to organise a Jobs Fair in Peterborough specifically for our FJF employees in order to provide them with the opportunity to network with businesses and organisations from around the city. The event was held on December 10th at the Town Hall in Peterborough and 35 organisations attended the event. These organisations were made up of recruitment agencies, voluntary organisations, FE colleges and various employers including a number of the City’s top 50 employers such as B&Q, Royal Sun Alliance, IKEA and Travelex.

The Mayor of Peterborough attended the event and was very impressed with the outcome and said it ‘showed that there is a future within Peterborough for young people’. The Fair also attracted the attention of Steve Bowyer, Head of Economic Development at Opportunity Peterborough; and Richard Astle, Director of the Greater Peterborough Partnership (GPP).

The Jobs Fair would not have been possible without the help of the Future Jobs Fund team. It has been brilliant fun working for such a great team over the past six months, and I look forward to continue working with them over the coming months.

The latter of which taught me about communication in the work place; verbally, written or by telephone manner.

“I would recommend the FJF to others as it gave me an opportunity to get into work when it was particularly hard to find one; it has also provided me with extra qualifications which always look good to future employers.”
