Entering the world of work

Taking your first steps into the world of work can be overwhelming.

The starting point is to create your Curriculum Vitae (CV) and develop your confidence about your achievements and qualifications.

Finding a job that you love, is an exciting next step in your journey. At Birchwood, we support you to develop your skills, then we help you to search for and apply for the right job for you.

There are also lots of opportunities for you to get involved in the organisation, as a volunteer to learn practical skills and grow your confidence too.

There is no set way for you to find a dream job, it’s all about exploring your options, matching your skill set and then working towards your goals.

So, whether it is your dream career or a Saturday job that you are after - we can help.
