"I've always wanted to make a difference in other people's lives, and have a need to be constantly challenged by work that is varied and complex. I can perform mundane work, but don't enjoy working in an environment where you feel like it is the same thing day in and day out. I've done my share of volunteer work growing up, and now as I am reevaluating my next move, I realised that working as a work coach would be the perfect fit for me."

"I landed my first job through the Jobcentre, and the impression it left on me, how I was so warmly treated, has never left me. After following my career path for a while now, I realise that my skill set makes me uniquely qualified to succeed in this role. I am interested in the kind of work that is rewarding not just in the work that is done, but the emotional benefits as well, knowing that you can make a difference."

I want to be a work coach once I was on universal credit my work coach helped me find a job. I enhance my work coach skills and kindness implemented in my job roles which are helping others, listening to their needs, and motivating colleagues. I have encouraged and helped some colleagues take up a higher role. I want to change others' lives as my work coach changed mine.
