Man's new lease of life thanks to Hull Jobcentre

HELPED TO OVERCOME PERSONAL CHALLENGES

- By COREENA FORD

A HULL man has overcome a raft of challenges to embark on a new chapter in his life thanks to support from Hull Jobcentre.

Mark has told how he “felt stuck” after losing both his parents, and was struggling to improve his life - until he took a Mid-Life MOT group session and coaching opportunities through the jobcentre.

He had been working on zero-hour contracts in event security while claiming Universal Credit and, having been diagnosed with dyslexia, he faced challenges with written communication.

Now, he has achieved a major milestone in his career journey thanks to the help and support from Hull Jobcentre, specifically Lyza Williamson, the work coach 50plus champion team member for Britannia House.

As a Universal Credit claimant, Mark could receive financial assistance during periods without a lot of work, with payments adjusted based on his monthly earnings.
