Freya stayed the course despite the obstacles

Freya was ready to return to work after recovering from a significant shoulder injury.

Freya’s injury had stopped her from lifting her arm and, although she was on the road to recovery, she was anxious about returning to work due to a previous stressful work situation.

Freya’s BUSY At Work team describe her as a bright and lively personality who brings a lot of energy to workshops. They prepared her for work by arranging for her to attend ‘work first’ workshops, and by guiding her to find and choose studies – Cert III in Business Admin – that would ultimately help her upskill to a position that would be better for her mental and physical health.

The biggest and best change we saw in Freya was that she became more and more confident that she would be able to find a suitable job as completion of her business admin course was approaching.

She started a little defeated due to the previous mental breakdown that she experienced, but with the right support she regained her confidence and resilience over time.

Freya’s new employer, Homestyle Bakeries, was able to offer her a role that worked within the hours she could travel to work.

Her manager Adam praises BUSY At Work for their professionalism in connecting him with new team members in the past saying, “We have a fantastic relationship with BUSY, I really appreciated that 12 managers came out for a site tour and took the time to understand that reliability is key for us.

“By coming in they showed that they care about my business, and about the candidates, and that’s why when it comes to getting the best fit BUSY are by far the best.”

Adam adds, “If you’re a good employee who wants to work I don’t mind about your background, I’ll give anyone a chance.”

He says of Freya, “Her attitude is just brilliant, her attention to detail is excellent and she’s here she’s keen, she knows her stuff, she’s diligent, and she’s a hard worker.”

Fabulous feedback Freya, congratulations on completing your studies and securing this great new role, we wish you the best as you progress your career with BUSY At Work there to support you along the way.
