Hannah blooms!

Hannah is a student at Dorin Park School in Chester and she has recently completed a placement at Carolannes Florist in Ellesmere Port with great success. Bren Project staff worked with Hannah on her profile back in the spring of the year and it was clear at that point that she wanted to work in one of two main areas, either with horses or flowers!

We had worked with Carolannes before and we felt that it was a really supportive and interesting place to undertake a placement and as such it would be ideal for Hannah.

She began her placement supported one to one by her Job Coach, Karen. As the weeks went by it soon became clear that Hannah had a real aptitude for the work, undertaking a wide range of tasks with great success and competence.

As the placement drew to a close it was clear to Hannah that floristry was the career for her. As such she is planning to undertake a dedicated floristry course at college and furthermore Carolannes were so impressed that they have agreed to allow her to continue in a voluntary capacity up to and during her course with a view to her securing paid work in the industry in the fullness of time.

As well as developing a wide range of work based skills and settling on a career path, Hanna's confidence has grown immensely and this has reflected really well in her school life with Dorin Park staff reporting that she is more bubbly, outgoing and confident than ever before.
