“I wanted to return to work for financial reasons” Steve told us.
His adviser Nicola, helped him to understand the current jobs market and the digital processes of applying for jobs online, using the tools on the National Careers Service Website.

Once some roles were found that felt right for Steve, he was supported to go for it and apply online. Along the way, Steve kept in touch with Nicola, asking for her advice and support. They also spoke on the phone when he needed extra IT guidance.
Steve was thrilled when he was offered a job as a pizza delivery driver, he generally works 15 – 20 hours over 3 or 4 evenings a week and its exactly the kind of role that works for him and his needs.
Steve’s words sum it up perfectly,
“It is exactly what I was looking for, just right for a person of my age, I could not have done this without National Careers Service”
