The rising price of basic products is crazy, and what makes things harder is that steady jobs are thin on the ground
I am back on the job hunt. My recent role working with young people who are at risk of becoming involved with county-lines activities has come to an end.
I’m used to it. I’ve always worked short contracts. What I’m not used to is how hard it is to get a proper contract now with a decent number of hours. No one knows what the future holds so employers have become tentative. Any contracts that are given out are small – 18 hours a week, for instance.
