Before using Inspire’s Youth Employment Service, Chantelle was being held back by her anxiety.
The 24-year-old was referred to the programme by the Department of Work and Pensions.
After meeting with YES coach Tony, she explained how she was also struggling with some personal and financial issues. He referred her to Inspire’s Wellbeing service which instantly saw a marked improvement in her confidence and general outlook.
He also set about helping her with her financial problems, including arranging for her to receive a washing machine, donated by a friend, and using our services to her through some tough times.
With this giving her the breathing space she needed, Chantelle and Tony were able to work together to address her main issues, and look for work.
Their efforts quickly paid off, with Chantelle quickly attending an interview in Norwich and securing herself a full time role in telemarketing.
Tony said: “Chantelle has all of the tools needed to succeed, she just needed a little support to get where she needs to go.”
“Inspire have helped me to believe I am capable of doing anything my heart desires,” Chantelle said. “I feel very motivated to keep up the success and to keep thinking positive.”
She added: “Tony is wonderful, he is very helpful and understanding. He is also very supportive with helping you achieve your goals.
“I have got a lot further from where I was and for that I am very grateful.”
“Chantelle has been a pleasure to work with, and I am sure that she will reach her potential and crack on from here,” Tony added.
