The Rotary Work Club in Bromley is launching Phase 3, making new and renewed content available to help 2021's local unemployed people and those who are worried about losing their jobs.

 

Towards the end of 2020, the 8 Rotary Clubs in the London Borough of Bromley worked together to offer free new online learning opportunities to local people in Bromley who were unemployed or who felt at risk of unemployment. In that pilot 'Phase 1' of Rotary Work Club, participants learned useful skills to help them to gain new employment or to start a business. The Covid-19 pandemic is having a well-publicised and devastating impact on employment and businesses and the Rotary Work Club in Bromley was created to help people at this very difficult time.

 

Rotary Work Club Phase 2 took place and was completed in the first 3 months of 2021, whilst Phase 3 begins on the12th of April 2021. All sessions run from 10am-11am, 

25% of participants in the first group got a job or placement before the end of the programme, and several have been brave enough in this difficult time for self employment, to start their own businesses. 
We continue to offer support to those who want it, through fortnightly coffee mornings on Zoom.

I just wanted to express my thanks to the Rotary Club and its members for its Job Club support over the last several months. I appreciate the time and effort you have all contributed to this. It meant a lot to me. It was useful with the best practice and learning new skills as well as picking up on experiences over the months from others.

From TB on 12th February 2021

I just got a new job.
Many thanks for all the support from Rotary.

ROTARY IN THE BOROUGH OF BROMLEY WORK CLUB – HOW IT WORKS

Why the Work Club?

The present circumstances of the Coronavirus pandemic can make a job search especially challenging. So, it is even more important that you do yourself full justice when applying!

Why Rotary?

Rotary in the Borough of Bromley comprises the membership of eight established Rotary Clubs. For all, support for issues that concern our local community is a key priority.

Why might you be looking for a new job just now?

Perhaps you have been made redundant from your previous job?

Or thinking about something that will better suit your abilities or circumstances?

So, how might our Work Club be able to help you?

Our trained volunteer facilitators come from many different professional and business backgrounds and experience. But they share the same purpose – to help you succeed in finding a job that is right for you. We cannot promise the outcome, of course, but gladly offer, free of charge, independent, practical guidance and support on: 

• Understanding what your strengths are

• Setting yourself a goal and making a plan

• Where to look for jobs

• Filling in an application form

• Creating your C.V.

• Getting ready for an interview

• How to build your confidence

• Staying motivated

Please understand that we are not a recruitment agency or job brokerage – we don’t look for jobs for candidates or look for candidates for employers. We are also not a job referral scheme, so we don’t connect employers to candidates, or vice versa.

How does it work?

We would normally expect initial enquiries to be by e-mail to rotaryworkclub@gmail.com
