Working Together to Get Locals Back to Work

It has always been a priority for the team at PSI Global Recruitment to ensure each site hires within the local communities they invest in. This helps to boost the local economy by getting more people back into work, potentially turning that one job into a long-term career in the area.

Equally important has been the work our team members do in the local communities. This has included donating to local food banks throughout the UK, toys at Christmas in Preston, a local women’s shelter in Liverpool, and more recently, our team in Plymouth collaborating with Seetec Plus.

Creating an Impact

In order to create a lasting impact in the communities our projects are located in, our aim has always been to focus our efforts on recruiting local and upskilling our workers. We’ve engaged with services such as schools, job centres, and prisons in several areas to try and engage local people as well as generate interest from those who may not have considered work in our industry.

Our account managers have also worked to create and build relationships with local organisations. One of those organisations for our team in Plymouth is Seetec Pluss. Not only are Seetec Pluss focused on getting people back into work in a number of communities across the UK, but they’re also focused on the wellbeing of the people that come to them for help.

“Seetec aim to empower local communities and create a positive social impact,” shared Seetec Integration Coordinator Ronnie Carter. “By working in partnership with employers, we aim to cultivate a talented local workforce, ensuring their success in finding and retaining valuable opportunities.”

Senior Account Manager Yasmin Lobb has been working closely with the team at Seetec Pluss since she started at PSI Global at the beginning of 2021. During that time Yasmin has attended job events to promote the work done on Devonport Dockyard and donated much needed supplies to their centre in Plymouth.

“As soon as I came on board at PSI Global, I started liaising with Jobcentre Plus, which is when we found out about Seetec,” explained Yasmin. “I have been working with Ty and more recently Lisa, along with many other communications from Seetec advisors, to help their candidates get back into work.”

Making a Difference

Working with organisations who make a difference in the local community, and to the wellbeing of job seekers and workers, has been essential in supporting the work we’re doing on a number of projects. We’ve introduced healthy eating options on one of our sites, offer upskilling opportunities regularly, and have offered training on mental health support to our account managers so they can further assist our workforce.

In Plymouth, we’ve attended numerous job events and made donations to a number of organisations across the city. “PSI Global feel it is important to give back to our community, whether that is by sponsoring local football teams or providing essentials to local foodbanks,” explained Yasmin. “More recently we’ve collaborated with Seetec to provide hygiene and sanitary products, something that we will continue to help with.”

The regular donations in Seetec’s Plymouth office will be available to those going to the office for assistance. But the job events and donations are just the beginning as we look forward to upcoming events to further our partnership and shared goal of getting people back into work while supporting their wellbeing.

“Through collaborative working with PSI Global Recruitment in Plymouth, we are dedicated to supporting our participants by gifting them essential hygiene products,” said Ronnie. “Together, we can do the right thing and make a difference in people’s lives.”

Stay tuned to find out how our team will be collaborating with Seetec throughout the year. If you have any questions about the jobs opportunities we have in Plymouth, you can contact Yasmin directly on 01752 424752.
