Get Set to Restart. Helping people overcome barriers and get back into work.
Hassan Syed, 52, had been out of work for over two years when he joined the Restart Scheme, delivered by Get Set UK on behalf of our partner, Maximus UK. With a background in security, Hassan was eager to return to the sector but faced several challenges, including a lack of recent experience, an outdated CV, limited interview skills, and financial barriers to attending training and interviews.
That’s where tailored support made the difference. Hassan’s Employment Advisor, Nida Husain, worked closely with him to build his confidence and create a personalised plan to move forward. Together, they:
• Identified Hassan’s transferable skills and employment goals
• Created an updated CV tailored to his target roles
• Enrolled him in sector-relevant training courses
• Practised interview techniques to boost his performance
• Provided financial support to remove cost-related barriers
Once job-ready, Hassan’s CV was shared with our Employer Relationship Management team, who matched him with a role through one of our employer partners. He secured an interview and is now working as a Security Officer in a job that aligns with his goals and experience.
Hassan’s success shows the real impact of the Restart Scheme and how this programme helps people regain their confidence, overcome personal and professional barriers, and secure sustainable employment.
