Mark transforms his career with support from Working Denbighshire

Mark, a senior support worker who worked with autistic children for several years asked Working Denbighshire for help in changing his career path.

After more than 12 years working as a senior support worker for autistic children, Mark knew it was time for a change. The job had been physically and mentally demanding, and at 51, he didn’t just want a new job, he wanted a career that truly suited him. That’s when he turned to Working Denbighshire for support.

Mark had a tough decision ahead. With qualifications mainly in childcare, transitioning to a completely new field felt daunting. But thanks to the guidance and encouragement of Eirlys, his Employment Mentor at Working Denbighshire, he was able to explore his options and identify a new path.

Together, they narrowed it down to two potential careers: mountain leadership or wind turbine technology, both outdoor-based roles that aligned with his passion for working outside. After careful consideration, Mark set his sights on becoming a wind turbine technician, a career with strong prospects and exciting opportunities.

With support from Working Denbighshire and partner organisations, Mark secured a bursary and funding that enabled him to complete nine weeks of intensive training in Newcastle. This opportunity helped him gain the essential qualifications to break into the industry, with the team’s financial support ensuring no barriers stood in his way.

Mark also talks a little about his experience in this short film.
