An innovative handyman service operated by vulnerable adults is on the the look-out for work.
Fix and Shift Training - known as FAST – is a social enterprise that trains individuals with disabilities to carry simple DIY type jobs safely in and around their living space, improving their wellbeing and ensuring their skills are available to enhance their communities.
Working closely with learning disability advocacy charity Carmarthenshire People First, willing trainees are identified and trained in skills such as painting and decorating, carpentry, putting together flat-pack furniture, garden maintenance etc.
Each trainee has a dedicated training plan and those that achieve set standards have an opportunity to join the team, and participate in undertaking simple repairs or maintenance work in and around the homes of others.
FAST welcomes enquires for jobs and referrals for individuals wishing to become trainees.
For more information please contact the FAST team on 01267 468961, email david.williams@commodum.org.uk or visit Fix and Shift Training on Facebook.
