Daisy said “We can help people filling in forms and guide them on how to apply for jobs online, which they find really useful as not everyone has computer skills”.

Stephen added “That’s also why we also run a computer course aimed at people who want to use a computer and gain confidence to apply for jobs”

We also offer a variety of other courses that can help you get to where you want to be, including a confidence building course which is a great opportunity to meet others and gain self belief.

There are 3 computers to use for job search and practicing for the CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) Health and Safety test, and when you feel confident to take the real test online.

Work club members also support each other helping each other with job hunting, by sharing details of the jobs they have spotted.

Stephen at volunteer of the year awards

On Thursday 2 June, Stephen Schofield, one of westonworks’ volunteers received a Volunteer of the Year Certificate after being nominated for the award.  Stephen has been with westonworks for over a year, running the reception desk one day a week and not missed a week since he started with us; he is a real credit to westonworks and the community – well done Stephen.

The nomination was a tough decision, as westonworks has a number of volunteers, all who significantly help with running the services, without them we’d be lost, so I also want to say a BIG THANK YOU, to Sam Leasmith, Yang Yang, Howard Chambers and Kerry Thompson – Adrian Stone, westonworks Manager.
