How we helped Mark B on the Work and Health programme

Mark B started the Work and Health Programme in March 2018 and was struggling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. On his time on the programme Dave, his Support Manager supported him with information and guidance about how he could manage his condition. We completed several tasks including brainstorming interests and supported Mark to complete a high quality CV, cover letter and also a speculative letter.

As Mark progressed on the programme he increased in confidence and also managed to take part in group sessions that aided confidence building. From discussions with Mark he mentioned outdoor work and part time hours. A role came up a Litter Picking role in Peterborough. Within a few days Mark had an interview and started work doing 6 hours per week.

Mark also saw a Wellbeing advisor prior to starting work to assist with management techniques for his Chronic fatigue syndrome. This role gave him the opportunity to work at his own pace and he has managed this well and is still in employment.
