The last 5 years of my life have been challenging. I found myself homeless, living in a tent and without a support network to help me. I’ve moved into sheltered accommodation which is still very challenging as the area doesn’t feel very safe.
I’ve been working in agency warehouses over the past decade during which I learned to speak Polish and worked hard to improve my situation. I don’t want to do this long term as the roles are insecure and I’ve injured myself in the past doing heavy lifting. My dream is to move into an office based role like an admin assistant. I used to volunteer as an admin assistant and working in that environment made me want to come into work each day.
There are some barriers I need to tackle first like getting my English and Maths GCSE grades up. Beam is helping me with a long term plan to get into better paid work while I study for my exams. Then I can transition to the career I want and into more stable living conditions.
