I became homeless after having to leave my family home. I did what I could to stay off the streets but it was not always possible. I've managed to get by but it's been extremely challenging. Without a stable base, it's really tough to focus on applying for jobs and attending interviews.
I used to work in construction but did not feel this role was one I wanted to progress with as a career. I enjoyed the physical element and still wanted a role where I can stay active. I had a think about potential careers and after some research felt security would be a great fit for me.
I decided to fund and take the first step in security myself. I've completed my door supervision course and I'm just waiting for my SIA badge to arrive. I need some support with practical bits and some extra training to increase my employability.
