Press release from: Landau

The highly successful Landau BBO Shropshire project continues to help some of the most isolated people in our communities find employment.

Originally from Algeria, Tahar moved to Britain some years ago. After losing his job in the window cleaning trade he was glad of the support from Landau in helping him find new employers.

English was not Tahar’s first language and he suffered from some mental health needs making it impossible to find work on his own. ‘Working with Landau has helped with structuring my weekly routine and with all the practical tasks of getting a job’.

Landau provides some 1:1 and small group support sessions to help improve Tahar’s English and confidence, additional training through APM improved his computer skills with certificated courses, with his new found confidence, skills and revised CV Tahar felt confident he could apply for several different jobs.

Tahar first job in a large factory setting was not the best working environment for him. He found the atmosphere incredibly stressful and the hours did not suit him or his personal situation. Landau spent time reviewing a more suitable type of job when they discovered him had previously cared for a family member care work became a possible occupation.

With this in mind, Landau referred Tahar to another BBO partner, Headway Shropshire, a charity that offers a 12-week training course focusing on Health & Social Care. Tahar was able to shadow Headway support staff learning all the elements of care work. Duties included manual lifting and handling, personal bathing, and supporting people with social activities. He gained many certificates covering confidentiality, professional boundaries and personal care procedures.

Whilst completing the course Headway helped Tahar to apply for a domiciliary care worker post with an established care company in Telford. He was really pleased to be offered an interview and met with the Landau job coach to prepare for this new opportunity. The job coach discussed typical interview questions, how to respond, and provided an understanding of the type of qualities an employer would be looking for.

Tahar was successful and started work as a Care Worker, he remains in touch with his Landau Job Coach who continues supporting him with things like DBS checks and completing all the necessary forms.

“My job coach has been to meet with my new employer and will continue to support me for as long as I need, we will soon be focusing on the online qualifications I need to complete in my new job.”
