Smart Works Reading

Smart Works Reading opened in October 2015 with a vision of bringing the dressing and interview coaching service to women within the Thames Valley.

Smart Works Reading is thriving, opening five days a week (4 days for client appointments), and delivering over 350 appointments in the last year. We are incredibly proud to report that in Reading our success rate remains high with over 1 in 2 of our clients going on to succeed at their job interview.

We give our clients a complete outfit of clothes and accessories (theirs to keep) and we provide one-to-one interview coaching so they feel more confident and start believing in their own ability to succeed. The two hours our clients spend with us can be transformative, we give women the confidence, the self-belief and the practical tools they require to succeed at interview and start a new chapter of their life.

We are proud to say we are a volunteer led organisation. We have a team of over 65 highly skilled, fully trained, professional volunteers. In addition all our stock is donated through professional women & organisations or comes direct from our retail partners such as Hobbs, Evans, Primark, Fluidity and Hope.
