Twenty-six year old Nicola was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at the age of two. She has a first-class honours degree in Multimedia Journalism, but despite making hundreds of applications she has never had a permanent job. After living independently at university, Nicola is now back at home with her mum, stepdad and sister. Although she relies on her walking frame and lives with frequent pain, she is willing to do whatever it takes to prove to employers she's got what it takes to be offered a full-time job.
Twenty-nine year old Marve has been visually impaired since birth. He was made redundant from his job as a support worker six years ago. Since then he has gradually lost the confidence and motivation to keep looking for work. Marve and his girlfriend Becky have recently found out that they are expecting their first child, and this has given Marve a new incentive to find a job and the conviction to regain his independence and support his growing family.
