Cumbernauld man breaks work deadlock

Bobby Moore (59) has admitted that his social anxiety was holding him back but employment with Remploy changed all that and led him to a new job as a security warden on campus.

Bobby said: “I was feeling isolated and alone, it seemed like finding work was a world away. I contacted Remploy and they have supported me immensely.”

It was suggested that Bobby opt for a fire marshall course via Remploy’s’ Transforming Lives Community and he decided to give it a go.

He explained: “Remploy has access to a varied range of different partners who can support with providing courses and I was really interested in this one. It also gave me an ideal opportunity to update my CV.

“Before, I had no routine. I didn’t know what it was like to work as it had been so long but, with Remploy’s support, they assured me that I was capable of finding a job.

“I always wanted to work but just needed that extra push. I was supported with an application for a security role and was delighted to find out I was successful.”

Jennifer Russell who provided support from the Jobcentre said: “It has been an absolute pleasure to see Bobby securing employment and enjoying it. He is now thriving and has all the right attributes to excel in his role.”
