The past few years have been tough. I was in an abusive relationship for far too long and it took me a while to break free. It was not until someone from outside stepped in that I was able to see the situation for what it was and escape.
Initially, I was supported by the council and police into a refuge before moving into temporary accommodation with my daughter where I'm living now. While I'm grateful for the support we've received, I need to find a more suitable and secure living environment for us.
I want to get back to work as soon as possible in a sector which will allow me to build a career. This is why I've chosen security work. I've had close connections work in this area and feel it is a good fit for me.
I know the journey to stability will be slow but I'm ready for the challenge. After the past couple of years, I do not ever want to need to rely on another person to provide a secure environment for my family. This opportunity will allow me to provide what is needed and get my independence back.
