Ready for work: Jacob’s story

Chosen outcome: Work skills: I arrive ready for work

I have had a couple of work placements at cafés, including at Furzey Gardens, but I struggled to get to work on time.

I have now begun a work placement at the Southampton Wood Recycling Project. I have to be there for 8.30am and this is very early for me.

I agreed with my keyworker that if they prompt me to get up early and set my alarm, I will get up.

I have made it on time to work every day so far.

I really enjoy this work even though I have to be up at 7am!
