Before I moved to the UK I lived in Ukraine where I was retired. However, I did sometimes work anyway because I wanted to stay active in the community. My husband has heart disease and can't speak English so I'd like to find a part-time job to help our situation. He needs to have surgery soon and the recovery time will be long so working part time will allow me to look after him. I would like to work as a carer because I like to try my best to support others. Since I'll be caring for my husband, I'll also have transferrable skills for my new role.
After the war started in Ukraine, I moved to the UK under the family scheme. Initially I stayed with my niece, but it was overcrowded because there were only 2 rooms. I moved to a family friend's house, but they've recently had a baby my husband and I can no longer stay there.
In the future, my main 3 priorities are working, learning and taking care of my husband. I want to improve my English and hope I can be in a better financial position where we can hopefully move into a property of our own.
