Sometimes, the first step is the hardest—and for Jade, that step was saying yes to an opportunity.
After spending the past eight years raising her children, Jade was ready to return to work—but she knew she needed a little extra support to get started. That’s when she found out about Magna Vitae’s Aspire To Be Programme and everything changed.
Aspire to Be gave Jade access to courses that not only offered qualifications but helped her rebuild her confidence.
She completed a Mental Health Awareness Course, a subject she’s passionate about, before Tracey (Lifestyle Partnerships Manager and Lead for Aspire to Be) introduced her to the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification.
“Tracey told me about the NPLQ and I just thought, why not! It was good for my confidence levels. I’m trained as a Lifeguard now.”
From there, Jade has gone on to join the Level 1 Swimming Assistant Course and is even planning to take her Level 2 Fitness Instructor Course next and then on to her Level 2 Swimming Teacher Course.
Initially, Jade never imagined herself in the leisure industry—she simply wanted skills to help her find a job that worked around her family. But now? Working in leisure—and with Magna Vitae specifically—is a real career goal!
The journey with Aspire To Be has done more than just enhance Jade’s CV….It’s given her focus, boosted her self-worth and helped her reconnect with herself as an individual, not just as a busy mum.
“This is exciting—it is all new! It’s nice getting to know people too.”
With aspirations of one day becoming a Mental Health Nurse, Jade is also looking forward to gaining experience working with children with additional needs through our WaterWise programme.
We couldn’t be prouder to support her on this journey. Jade’s story is what Aspire to Be is all about—providing support, building confidence and helping local people live a great life.
