Hello, I'm Brian. The last few months have been really challenging for me. I used to have a live-in hotel job working in the kitchens but unfortunately, the hotel went through a quiet period and they had to let staff go - I lost both my job and accommodation. I had no family support in the area and had to move into temporary accommodation. My physical health issues as well as financial challenges have made it very hard to find a new job recently.
I would love to get back to running my own kitchen or working as a chef. I am passionate about cooking and have 34 years experience working in hospitality - both managing kitchens as well as cooking starters, mains and desserts. Getting back into work would mean the world to me and it will help me to take a step towards moving out of shared temporary accommodation and finding my own place to live. With a little support I really believe I can get myself a stable job and home and get my life back on track.
