Name:
Anthony Salt
Age:
51
Previous Job Role:
Pottery Worker
New Job Role:
LGV Driver |
Anthony had worked for H&R
Johnson as a Pottery Worker
for 30 years when he was
faced with redundancy.
This was a double blow for
Anthony as he suspected he
was dyslexic
and was apprehensive about
the future and the prospect
of retraining.
Following an individualised
advice and guidance meeting
with an advisor from the
North Staffs Workforce
Development Project, a
dyslexia assessment was
arranged.
This confirmed that Anthony
has dyslexia and was
followed up by a
multi-sensory tuition course
funded by the project which
helped him to develop
strategies to overcome his
disability.
Following this Anthony was
able to undertake Class 2
Driver Training with a local
provider, and has been
successful in gaining new
employment as a Large Goods
Vehicle (LGV) Driver
with a national company.
Anthony thanked the project
for their help and support
and tells us that he is
"loving" his new job role.
