“I was introduced to Clean Slate Solutions whilst completing the final few months of my custodial sentence at HMP Kirklevington Grange.

I was instantly accepted, Lorna understand my drive and determination to get back into employment and provided me some inspiration and reminded me to look at my CV and see the successful career that had formed for myself prior to the blip in my life. She explained that her colleague Joe would pop into the prison and have a further discussion.

Joe actually came to my cell, sat on a chair in my room and we had a really normal conversation, no prison officers listening in, just two blokes both wanting my life back on track.

There isn’t many feelings of relief that can compare to being released from prison back to my family, however to do it with a job offer in my pocket made all the difference in the world.”

“Thanks very much Clean Slate Solutions for all your help. This time last year, my life turned upside down. I was arrested whilst intoxicated for assaulting the ambulance staff. I have no recollection of the event, but I am extremely remorseful. I didn’t know what to do and the thought of the embarrassment of my employer finding out ending with leaving my job due to the shame and guilt.

Fast forward to now, when speaking with Clean Slate Solutions I was asked what the dream job was. Almost instantly I answered, my old job back, I loved it, but they won’t have me back surely.

Guess what, I am approaching the end of my first month at that very employer and it’s going brilliantly! My life is back on track!

Thanks very much to the full team at Clean Slate Solutions for all your love and support.”

“Clean Slate Solutions were extremely helpful and helped me to find employment quickly. I felt that Clean Slate Solutions work quickly to find me work and treated my case with a degree of urgency. I didn’t feel like I was being judged in any way and was treated with compassion. I feel more confident about finding work with the help of Clean Slate Solutions.”

“Thanks very much Clean Slate Solutions for all your effort. I honestly thought that my life was on permanent hold whilst in prison. However, you really all owed me to look forward to be released and having interviews lined up allowed me to feel confident that I was going to get my life back on track. I would recommend to all the lads in HMP Kirklevington Grange, to try and speak with Lorna and Joe of Clean Slate Solutions as so often there is no real hope amongst the lads of having a future once employers find out about convictions. Thanks again Clean Slate Solutions!”

“I am so glad I met Clean Slate Solutions, before I spoke to you guys I was languishing and feeling very sorry for myself, focussing on the past and what went wrong, now I am focussed on the future, making decisions that will benefit me and improving every aspect of my life.”

“Employment has made a massive difference to my life for the first time in a very long time I have a stable life style.

For most of my life I have never had any sort of support but when I met Richard from day one he has been there for me and give me all the help and support I needed to get where I am now, the team at Clean Slate Solutions are amazing!

I would recommend anyone to Clean Slate Solutions, I already have, they are a great team and will do everything they can to get you where you want to be in life.”

“Clean Slate Solutions have been the full package for me! From start to finish, they have helped in ways I could never imagine were possible. They matched my determination to get my life back on track at every stage as if were there own! From helping me with my CV, to getting my Driving Licence renewed and my CSCS card all sorted! We all knew these could and should prove vital in getting employment! I love animals, and to have obtain employment at a Farm that have made me so welcome and even provided me a affordable home is a dream come true! Clean Slate took me to the interview, moved me home the following day and even accessed funding for work clothes and a white goods for my new home. Can you imagine having a team like this on your side? Thanks very much Clean Slate Solutions!.”

“Employment has a big impact on my life as I’m now financially independent. It gives me satisfaction that I am getting up each day and have a routine to go out to work and meet different people, this makes me feel a lot more confident in myself.

I would recommend Clean Slate Solutions as they have helped me in every way possible to get me back into employment. After everything I have been through, they helped me secure employment and have been there every step of the way.”

“Employment has made a massive difference to my mental state and quality of life. Engaging with Clean Slate Solutions has helped me out in so many ways, employment, housing, and even just someone to talk to if i need it. I would definitely recommend Clean Slate Solutions to anyone in a similar position to myself. Having the right guidance with healthy eating advice and access to a gym really helped me be in the best frame of mind when my job opportunity came. My mental health has been impacted positively in so many ways compared to being unfit and unemployed.”

“The difference has been massive otherwise I would not be working now without the support from the service, they helped me in the dark days of unemployment, during the lockdown. My experience in dealing with multiple agencies has been great, I’ve got my CSCS Card, Asbestos Awareness Training, CBT Bike License. Having done these courses through the service Clean Slate Solutions pointed me to, this has allowed me to have brilliant CV for potential employers. I would highly recommend the services Clean Slate Solutions provide.”

“It’s made a massive difference since my release. I felt like i had ruined my life and chances of decent employment but thanks to Clean Slate Solutions, I’ve found a job where I’m treated as an equal. It’s right on my doorstep, perfect hours and good wage with the change to progress within the company.”

“Clean Slate Solutions have been with me every step of the way. I informed them that I was open to anything, with an emphasis on hospitality ideally after enjoying a past role, with that being the dream role. Within the next week, I had barely been off the phone chasing and pushing Joe for work, Clean Slate Solutions had secured me two interviews. One was over a video meeting and Lorna kindly came to the rescue visiting my home with a laptop to ensure I had the technology to do the interview. The following day, I had an interview at my previous employer too and following that going well I had a work trial that very weekend. Within a fortnight, I had secured both roles and now had the difficult yet lovely decision of which one to choose.”
