Prior to 2019, I was working full time for 8 years in a convenience store. I worked my way up to Assistant Manager and was doing well, saving money and enjoying life. Unfortunately, my relationship broke down just before COVID which affected a lot of areas of my life and one thing after another fell to pieces. My mental health rapidly deteriorated and I lost my job which led me to being homeless.
I have managed to get into shared accommodation but my dream is to get my life fully back on track, be in a stable job and stable home and be settled with a purpose to my life again. I have always wanted to become a plant operator and am currently looking for Warehouse Operative work as a stepping stone towards this. I am passionate about working in a diverse team that all supports each other.
Looking ahead, having secure employment will allow me to rebuild aspects of my life that I have lost over the last few years to help me towards moving out of shared accommodation. It gives me so much encouragement to know there are people willing to support me to achieve my goals.
