A success story

Lawrino’s success story.

The Restart Scheme continues to support participants with employment opportunitites.

Restart | 19 December 2023

What was the situation?

Lawrino Williams, aged 56, joined the Restart Scheme, ran in partnership with Maximus in our Redbridge office as he has been struggling to find employment for over twenty years. He had attended multiple employability programmes run by other providers and hadn’t had any success until he came to Get Set UK.

Lawrino became disheartened in his job search, this impacted his confidence, affected his mental health and left him with a mindset of not wanting to work anymore.  Nida Hussain, Employment Advisor worked with Lawrino and identified that his main barriers to employment were his lack of IT skills and how to prepare/act accordingly during an interview. After reviewing and updating his CV, and showing him how to apply for jobs online, Nida supported Lawrino with job applications and prepared him for the interview process with mock interviews which led to him successfully securing a role as a Picker and Packer for The Meat Factory.
