In 2006 I became homeless because my relationship broke down. Luckily I had friends to stay with for most of this time but I did spend quite a bit of time rough sleeping. I even managed to hold down many jobs through this time.
Things took a turn for the worse with the pandemic in 2020 and I found it harder to find work in kitchens and ended up homeless again earlier this year. That's when I moved into temporary accommodation. I found it quite difficult at first, after so long without a home, but now I'm feeling like I'm in a great spot to get back to work.
My interest is in food but most of all I'm looking for a stable employer and a job that I can feel valued in. I'd love to get back into a kitchen because I know that it’s something I’m good at.
I'm already interested in quite a few jobs that Beam can help me with and I can't wait to start applying!
