Mental Health : What Job Would You Recommend For A Friend Of Mine Who Is Recovering From A Nervous Breakdown
He hasn't worked for a couple of years, but has recently started voluntary work with a wildlife trust. He wants something outdoors, he is physically fit, but his social skills aren't too good, he really only feels comfortable around people he trusts, so he would prefer something that doesn't involve contact with people too much. I've tried to think of something to help him, but I'm really stuck. All help is appreciated, thanks. BTW he lives in Dorset. ~~~ Bum Gravy. ~~~

Hi there, If he rings his local Job Centre Plus there should be a Disability Assessment officer who he can speak to, and they should be able to tell him about various agencies which find work/placements for people with mental health issues/ disabilities etc.( I know the disability thing is not a nice label but they are there for all disabling conditions!) They are given an allowance from the government to provide placements for people who may need a bit of support or allowance to get back to work, and as the persons confidence and stamina improve, some are offered permanent jobs, I don't know the Dorset area, but sure it will exist there. Some agencies focus on out door/gardening regeneration projects which sound like they would suit your friend and hopefully his social skills will improve as a result. You sound like a good friend! Good luck hope this helps!

Answer 1He needs a challenge. Catching grizzly bears for a nature conservation programme might fit the bill.
Answer 2How about looking into employment with the Forestry Commision or something along those lines.?
Answer 3Park ranger, gardener with the council or working in a zoo.
Answer 4Places like petpals etc (pet sitters are becoming more and more popular). I hire someone to come to my house to feed, groom and play with my pets when I am on holiday. There is minimum people contact as you have to meet them and check out where everyhting is in the house and that's it you and the pets. With dogs the dogs are also walked (outdoors). You have to be police vetted usually because of people trusting you in their houses and a woman near me hast started her own pet sitting service. They also walk dogs when their owners are at work. I suppose he could look for wwork on a farm or at a local rescue centre (I think thats usually volunteers to). He could retrain as a farrierThe only way to become a farrier is to undertake a four-year Advanced Apprenticeship with an Approved Training Farrier. The Advanced Apprenticeship includes a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) at Level 3 in Farriery, Key Skills, Business Studies, IT and the Worshipful Company of Farriers Diploma. The entry requirements are 4 GCSEs (grades A-C including English Language) or the Farriery Access Course. Training consists of work-based learning with the Approved Training Farrier, interspersed with periods of college-based training. For more information, contact the Farriery Training Service on Tel. 01733 319770 or visit their website .uk. Alternatively contact Lantra Connect on Tel. 0845 707 8007 or email connect@.uk All the best of luck to your friend.

Answer 7Computer programming or data entry?
Answer 8Lawn servicework at a public park. Public parks pay good wages and can have insurance. If you're in the right park you may not interact with anyone.
Answer 9a volunteer at a charity shop.
Answer 10AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER.
Answer 11Would he be interested in farm work do you think? Or maybe working in a zoo feeding the animals etc? This might be an idea as it sounds like he cares for animals. I think the best thing he can do really, whatever type of job he does have is get into it slowly and not take too much on at once. Maybe he could work part time, even if it's just to begin with? I hope all goes well for your friend and wish you both all the best of luck xx
