I wanted to do this when I was younger
Wow...you're all so amazing. I work in a privately owned newsagent/off licence.
Minimum wage, but full time and the best job ever, I look forward to working there every day.

Kitchen assistant in a primary school, i used to be a carer but left when i had my eldest, was very fortunate to be able to stay home with my children until the youngest started school. Would love to train to be a paramedic once they are old enough to get themselves home safely from school!
Pack beauty and hygiene products with Lemonpath.
I'm 56 and recently found part-time work, after years of unemployment (lack of self esteem ect). I know how difficult it is to summon up the courage, but it can be done.Financial admin...I’ll be honest though I’ve not actually worked for quite a long time due to severe mental health issues and things that have been going on in my life. I feel such a deep sense of shame and unworthiness, it really effects my self esteem and I feel so...pointless. I hate when anyone asks me what I do, the dentist asked me the other day and I burst into tearsI want to return to work but have had a lot of really hard knocks and think it’s going to be really difficult to get my confidence back.
If you have any spare time at all, some volunteering can help before actually trying for paramedic courses.
St. John's ambulance service or an NHS ambulance service.
Also, getting a first aid certificate can help.
Hope you get there!
I’m a senior officer in a housing repair team! I love it but it can be exhausting sometimes dealing with people who want something for nothing and equally the vulnerable who are living in extremely poor conditions and don’t realise!
Well done! I know that must have taken a lot, it’s so hard to get back into work when you’ve been out for so long. I really hope it’s going well for you and that you’re enjoying it. Thank you for giving me some hope! x
I’m a psychiatric liaison nurse!
That’s my Mums job - she loves it but has always wanted to train to be a nurse. I’m encouraging her to apply to Uni
I did St Johns ambulance when I was a teenager and got my first aid training - if you can do that it will good paramedic experience!Ah interesting! I've just applied to the NHS graduate management scheme for next year. Do you enjoy it?
Engineering Buyer.
Good luck with your babies!!!! I waited a long time for my baby also. Enjoy every moment x
NHS Admin.
Hate it - my boss is an hole!
I should love my job (on paper!) but I’m held back constantly and I’ve lost so many skills and so much knowledge that I used to have previously to taking this particular role. It’s really taken a toll on my mental health and it makes me feel absolutely useless and that I’m not capable of doing any other job which just keeps me stuck in this crappy job
I have 0 confidence or self belief anymore and wouldn’t recognise myself compared to how I was 3-4 years ago.
I want to be a service manager (anyone in NHS will understand what that entails) but not sure how I’ll ever get there at this rate
Sorry for the essay

I work as a marketing manager in the financial services industry. I like it because everyday is different and I get to be creative. Also it is satisfying seeing the leads I bring in get converted.
I always wanted to do something that contributes to society though. I wanted to be a teacher and I still do. But when I was younger I used to get anxious talking in front of groups of people so I never studied for it.
