For him, it took just a few weeks.
On February 7, Gregory joined the teams at Booth ta cuisine, a Salvation Army integration project in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône).
He got a 7-month fixed-term contract there.
“I’m so happy, it went so quickly,” he says in his native language.
This 56-year-old British painter, decorator and cook, based in the Marseille city for twenty years, has had short contracts there – around thirty since 2009 – before being forced to stop work by Covid.
A period from which he found it difficult to recover.
After more than two years without work, last December he joined the renovated RSA – Marseille is one of the 18 territories testing the system since 2023. The program includes intensive support, close to coaching, from France Travail advisors and the department.
For the fifty-year-old, it didn't take long.
A CV redone with his advisor, and the first sending was the right one.
