Dylan’s Story

Dylan faced significant mental health challenges amid custody battles and sole parenting responsibilities. Despite prior experience as a lab technician at Specsavers, Dylan sought a career path aligning with his interests in technology and science. However, childcare commitments and low confidence hindered his pursuit of employment opportunities.

Recognising the importance of addressing Dylan’s childcare challenges, support sessions were conducted at his home to accommodate his needs. Together, we revamped Dylan’s CV, transforming it into a well-structured document highlighting his skills and previous employment. Dylan completed the National Careers Skills health check, revealing an aptitude for scientific facts and sparking interest in laboratory technician roles. Despite initial scepticism about his qualifications, Dylan received encouragement to pursue skilled positions that aligned with his expertise.

I enjoyed the good conversations with my keyworker, around reassurance and support. I felt supported and know that if I need it again my keyworker will be there to advise me.
