Coach led client Jay to the self confidence he needed to find a job he loves.<\/p><p>Jay said: \u201cI couldn\u2019t leave the house, I was very afraid to go out, but then I met Richard through the JobCentre.\u201d<\/p><p>To build up confidence Talent Match Coach Richard Phillips encouraged Jay to meet him once a week in a nearby McDonald\u2019s, to get used to leaving the house.<\/p><p>Jay added: \u201cIt was terrifying and horrible at first. But then I started to come to terms with realising the world wasn\u2019t against me.\u201d<\/p><p>Unemployed for around three years before working with Talent Match at Breakthrough, Jay built up the confidence and skills to get a job with Trafford Housing Trust, as part of the CleanStart team.<\/p><p>Jay said: \u201cI\u2019ve been with Trafford Housing Trust around eight months now; I visit the properties and keep them clean. I\u2019m there five days a week and I love it \u2013 the people are really nice.\u201d<\/p><p>Trafford Housing Trust Coach Coordinator Jackie Baxter, who supports Jay, said: \u201cJay has grown so much confidence in the time I have known him. He works well within a team and uses his own initiative.<\/p><p>\u201cI have had good feedback from his supervisor and he has progressed since I have worked here.\u201d<\/p><p>After expressing an interest in learning joinery, he was recently given the opportunity to go on work experience with the organisation\u2019s repair team and went out with them on their rounds.<\/p><p>Talent Coach Richard said: \u201c\u201cJay has done amazingly well in transforming his life \u2013 in a very short amount of time too! Anything he does he does with enthusiasm and commitment, showing bravery to push out of his comfort zone and learn new things.<\/p><p>\u201cHe is very keen to progress on with his career and I have no doubt that he will be a success whatever he goes into after CleanStart. \u201c<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-11a115f3\" data-eae-slider=\"25985\" data-id=\"11a115f3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4d348f elementor-widget elementor-widget-sidebar\" data-id=\"a4d348f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"sidebar.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section id=\"search-2\" class=\"widget widget_search\"><h2 class=\"widget-title\">Search the website<\/h2><form role=\"search\" method=\"get\" class=\"search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/breakthrough-uk.co.uk\/homepage\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<label>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Search for:<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"search\" class=\"search-field\" placeholder=\"Search &hellip;\" value=\"\" name=\"s\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" class=\"search-submit\" value=\"Search\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/form><\/section><section id=\"custom_html-8\" class=\"widget_text widget widget_custom_html\"><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><hr><\/div><\/section><section id=\"block-8\" class=\"widget widget_block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Latest News<\/h2>\n<\/section><section id=\"block-7\" class=\"widget widget_block widget_recent_entries\"><ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list has-dates has-author wp-block-latest-posts has-medium-font-size\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/breakthrough-uk.co.uk\/homepage\/breaking-through-quarterly-newsletter-relaunched-october-2024\/\">Breaking Through Quarterly Newsletter Relaunched<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-author\">by Mark Watts<\/div><time datetime=\"2024-10-30T10:56:48+00:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">30 October 2024<\/time><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/breakthrough-uk.co.uk\/homepage\/meet-our-team\/\">Meet our team!<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-author\">by Mark Watts<\/div><time datetime=\"2024-09-10T09:12:57+01:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">10 September 2024<\/time><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/breakthrough-uk.co.uk\/homepage\/website-refresh\/\">Website Refresh<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-author\">by Mark Watts<\/div><time datetime=\"2024-07-12T14:31:25+01:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">12 July 2024<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/section><section id=\"custom_html-9\" class=\"widget_text widget widget_custom_html\"><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><hr><\/div><\/section><section id=\"text-4\" class=\"widget widget_text\"><h2 class=\"widget-title\">Impact Review<\/h2>\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p>Read more about the things we do at Breakthrough UK &#8211;
