David - Connect to Work

David’s journey into paid employment with Connect to Work

Personalised support helped David find a job he enjoys and build confidence at work

Before joining Connect to Work, David Cordery, from Ludlow, was not in employment and needed support to identify the right next step. His goal was to find paid work that suited his skills, interests and circumstances. 

Through regular one-to-one support and vocational profiling, David worked with Employment Specialist Dan Tompson to explore his strengths and employment goals. Together, they identified that a cleaning position could be a good match for him.

Support tailored to David

David received personalised support throughout the recruitment process, including:

• Job searching and application support
• Interview preparation
• Confidence building
• Job coaching
• In-work support

Enable also worked with Shire Services to help ensure the position was a suitable fit and that the right support was available.

Securing the right role

David successfully secured paid employment as a Cleaner with Shire Services at Ludlow Library. After starting his new role, he continued to receive job coaching to help him settle into the workplace, establish a routine and become more confident in completing his duties independently.

David Says:

"Before I joined Connect to Work, I was not in work. I found some things difficult, like confidence, health, or knowing where to start...I have found the support from Enable to be very helpful to find a job I enjoy with a supportive employer and friendly team"
