Your Herefordshire Your Herefordshire Jobs

Meet Charlie, a shining example of resilience and determination 💫

As a farmer, Charlie's mental health took a toll, forcing him out of work. But he refused to let his circumstances define him. During his illness, Charlie pursued education and completed qualifications in various fields.

In 2018, he joined the BBO Herefordshire program, volunteering and training to regain lost skills. Despite mindful consideration of his mental health, Charlie's Key Worker guided him toward readiness for work. He started by volunteering at The Kindle Centre and participating in community events.

In 2021, Charlie found a full-time role at the Recycling Centre in Hereford, thanks to his acquired skills and the support of the Kindle Centre. His story proves it's never too late for positive change.

We can all draw inspiration from Charlie's journey during Mental Health Awareness Week and believe in the power of resilience and self-belief.

It's Mental Health Awareness Week and this year's theme is anxiety.

Many things can lead to feelings of anxiety, including looking for a job, however anxiety can be made easier to manage with the right support and advice.

Landau's IN2 Employment programme for 16-24 year olds in Telford & Wrekin, Shropshire & Herefordshire is currently helping many young people who are feeling anxious about finding a job. Our experienced Employment Advisors are able to provide free 121 support and advice - from job searching, CV writing and interview practice to being on hand for when someone first starts their job - all of which is making a huge difference to so many. However, we want to help more so please share this post and like/follow us on Facebook to help us to reach more 16-24 year olds.

It's National Interpreter Appreciation Day and we'd like to say a very big THANK YOU to all of the amazing interpreters everywhere. It's also Deaf Awareness Week and we'd like to take the opportunity to recognise a very talented and very driven member of our team who has personally encountered and overcome many challenges in her life in order to succeed whilst helping others too. Zana says without Access To Work, it would be a challenge in any role for a Deaf person and extends her own personal thanks to all the amazing interpreters she works with to bridge the communication gap and make her role/workplace more accessible.

GCSE and A-level exams are fast approaching - an anxious and difficult time for many. Added to this is the worry of what to do next for those that do not want to stay in education. This is where Landau can help with our IN2 Employment programme.

If you are a mum, dad, grandparent, carer, teacher, brother, sister or friend of a young person who is soon to leave education, or maybe already has and is at a loss as to what to do next, please put them in touch with us.

Our dedicated team of experienced Employment Advisors is already supporting a number of 16-24 year olds and can help more. We offer:

⭐FREE CV writing - lots of advice and support
⭐FREE interview support & preparation with techniques and tips
⭐FREE job search support
⭐FREE online courses

Amongst all of the many wonderful examples of how Landau has been able to help people into employment, here is one that is very close to home.

Kallen first started working at our Training and Enterprise Centre in Newstead on a work placement. This quickly led to an apprenticeship and two years later, Kallen is celebrating completing his Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification. Not only that, he has achieved a distinction! Congratulations!

Kallen is thrilled with the outcome and says it is his best achievement ever! He is now setting his sights on the Higher Level Teaching Assistant qualification - fantastic news and another brilliant example of someone turning their life around with the support of Landau.
