P E T-X i C A S E S T U DY Hannah Lowis, aged 21, finished college three years ago after studying animal welfare and animal management. She has since had various part time jobs, but has never secured full-time employment. While looking for support with finding a full-time position, Hannah’s dad came across PET-Xi and she got in touch.
Support provided by PET-Xi Hannah was mentored by PET-Xi Recruitment and Professions Co-Ordinator Charlotte Briscoe who explored potential career opportunities with her. Charlotte also worked with Hannah to improve her CV, develop her knowledge about the job application process and build her confidence. Charlotte said: “Hannah had never been in full time employment so we were really focused on finding a job that was right for her. “She was really lovely, engaged with all of the support we provided and open to various different career suggestions. “While Hannah was with us, I was contacted about some positions available with Hello Fresh, in Nuneaton, so I got in touch to ask if she would be interested in applying. “I then supported her with the application, helped her prepare for the interview and gave tips to help improve her confidence and I’m very pleased that she was offered a position.”
The outcome PET-Xi helped Hannah to secure a full-time role as a warehouse operative with Hello Fresh where she has now been for three months.
CONNECTING COMMUNITIES
Charlotte Briscoe
“PET-Xi was fantastic at supporting me to find full-time employment. Charlotte was really friendly and helpful at building my confidence - something that I often struggle with. “It’s great to finally be working full time. Having studied animal welfare and animal management, my dream job would be something in this field, but it’s really good to take that first step on to the career ladder. “I’ve already recommended PET-Xi to others, and they have even supported my brother with finding employment.” Hannah Lowis Together we work as one Hannah was supported through the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) project Connecting Communities which is aimed at helping residents in the Camp Hill, Whittleford, Ansley Common, Stockingford, Hartshill and Chapel End areas of Nuneaton who are unemployed or in low-income roles move back into employment.
