Oussama’s success story.

Get Set for employment, health and wellbeing support with the Work and Health Programme.

The Local London Work and Health programme, funded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and delivered by Get Set UK on behalf of partner Maximus UK, delivers employment, health and well being support tailored to meet individual needs and circumstances.

When Oussama Moussaid, 26, first came to Get Set UK, he was looking for support and guidance to kickstart his career. With no previous work experience, he knew he had a challenge ahead, but that didn’t stop him. Determined to build a bright and exciting future, he put his trust in the process and took the first step toward new opportunities.

Read Oussama’s story in his own words.

“As a participant in the Work and Health Programme, I’ve experienced real progress, and I owe a lot of it to my Employment Advisor, Jordan. Though I haven’t secured a job yet, the journey so far has been incredibly positive, and I’m starting to feel hopeful about my future. When I first joined the programme, I was unsure about where to start as I had not worked before and did not have any work experience. Jordan listened to my concerns and worked with me to create a professional CV that truly highlights my skills and experience. It was a huge step for me, as I hadn’t realised how much I had to offer until we went through the process together.

But the support didn’t stop there. Jordan also put me forward for various courses and workshops that were designed to build my confidence and improve my job-searching skills. These courses have been a game-changer. From improving my interview techniques to learning new skills relevant to today’s job market, I feel more prepared and capable than ever before.
While I’m still working towards securing a job, the progress I’ve made thanks to Jordan’s guidance and support has been invaluable. I now have a stronger sense of direction and feel empowered to take on new opportunities.

I’m excited for what the future holds, and I know that I have the tools and resources to succeed. Every week, I leave my appointments feeling more confident and equipped than the last. Jordan makes sure that each session is focused on practical steps, so I don’t feel overwhelmed. Whether it’s helping me tweak my CV to match the job roles I’m applying for, offering advice on improving my interview techniques, or introducing me to resources that help develop new skills, I always walk away with something actionable.”
