Years spent not working left Mark lacking in confidence and he felt that employers would not see past his health issues and disability. The longer it went on, the harder it was to imagine how he would get back to work.
That all changed for Mark when Maximus - one of Cera Care’s employability partners - handed him a leaflet in a shopping centre. Accessing their specialist employment support that helps people get back to work led to Mark being matched with a job coach, who quickly spotted his potential.
His job coach learned that despite his own health issues Mark had taken on caring responsibilities for his family, looking after his mother-in-law and his father-in-law, who has Alzheimer's and vascular dementia.
