[A] young father from Cumbria, has secured employment after suffering from a life-threatening infection.
Dario Bererira contracted a rare infection called subdural empyema, a serious condition affecting the skull. Once he recovered, Dario contacted PHX Training, a leading north west training provider which offers training programmes for individuals to get back to work.
PHX Training in Cumbria gave Dario one-to-one support to improve his English and discussed his future career path in security. To achieve his goal, Dario enrolled onto the Journey2Work Scheme which led him to undertake a Security Industry Authority (SIA) qualification.
Once Dario’s licence was approved with the SIA agency, PHX Training helped him find local employer, Pro-tect Security based in Carlisle, and he has never looked back since.
Dario said: “After I recovered from my infection, I was finding it hard to get back into work. My job search ended when I found PHX Training. Aside from giving me the training I needed to develop my skills through the Journey2work scheme, PHX gave me the confidence to attend interviews and assisted me when completing job applications.
“Being employed has opened so many doors for me in my career and my personal life. I recently passed my driving test which I could not afford before I started working. It means I can take my children to school, get to work easily and take my whole family out for day trips. PHX Training has helped me find a fresh start.”
John Jeffrey, managing director of Pro-tect Security said: “We’ve been impressed by Dario’s work ethic and he is a great asset to our team. He is an ideal example of a good hard-working employee who we are proud to have on board representing our company and providing services to meet our client’s needs.”
