Talking to Peter made me see my potential and not be afraid to go it alone
Client who has secured self-employment, supported by her Employment Adviser, Peter through the Leicestershire Employment and Skills Programme in July 2024.
Pauline
September 2024
Pauline has just started work in September 2024 with a local secondary school where she works as an office manager. Pauline met Real Purpose employment advisers at a jobs fair close to where she lived in April 2024.
​
Since Pauline started working with Peter and later with Natalie as well, our employment advisers, she quickly started looking for work that she would be appreciated for and adequately paid for
​
Jane
April 2024
Jane was self-referred to Real Purpose after being told about Real Purpose’s services at the local mental health NHS Trust’s Recovery College where Jane had completed some courses.
Jane had been attending the Recovery College to improve her confidence and mental health after leaving her former career which she could no longer work in due to a physical injury.

David
March 2024
David is in his mid-50s and lives in North Leicestershire. He has just received his first month’s pay in four years, and he is very happy about this saying that he “could not have done this without Real Purpose”.
​
When David joined our Leicestershire Employment and Skills Programme he said he had been impacted significantly by the pandemic and this caused social anxiety.
