I’ve been out of work for four months, and I really want to get back into work so that I can provide for my wife and daughter. Previously I was working as a kitchen porter, but in the end the commute was too long and too expensive as it was out of London, and it was a zero hour contract so I couldn’t stay anymore.
I'm living in a hostel at the moment with my wife and our young baby. We were living in temporary accommodation before, but the council deemed it uninhabitable. The heating didn’t work and we had lots of other problems - and my wife was five months pregnant at the time.
I’d like to find work in retail as it’s a relatively stable job and I’ve got experience working in those roles back home. Being in work makes me happy! I can’t wait to hopefully get back into work soon. My dream is to one day own my own business. I’d love to own my own Arab food store. And I’d love for my wife, baby and I to be settled in a stable home.
