‘Job Done!’ is a project run at The Balsam Centre where our gardens are located. The ‘Job Done!’ project helps people prepare for a return to the workplace or get work for the first time. This year we ran a pilot project where some people joined our Thursday gardening group and rediscovered skills they forgot they had, built confidence for a return to the workplace, learnt transferable skills through horticulture, and began to plan for future employment. We hope to expand this project soon.
It’s about getting back into the swing of work!! Flexible start dates. Sessions are 10am – 12.30pm on Thursdays every week with refreshments provided.
The "Job Done" project runs on other days too, and there are lots of exiting activities to help you get back into the swing of work. Craft and cooking sessions are available, along with support for CV writing, job hunting, and work experience placements.
