My route was somewhat different.<\/p>\n<p>When I left school I started my career as a support worker for adults with severe physical and learning disabilities. I did that for about 8 years, getting promoted so by the time I left to have my first son I was running a residential care home.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst my boys were tiny I worked part-time as a home help whilst also studying for an Open University Degree, in Technology of all things. Serious juggling skills required there. When my youngest started school I then did voluntary work supporting parents of under 5s, followed by voluntary and paid work acting as an advocate and mentor for those in foster care and care leavers.<\/p>\n<p>After that I switched to the opposite end of the age spectrum! I worked in retirement housing, managing several rented and leasehold locations myself and also overseeing a team of other managers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely loved that job.<\/p>\n<p>Basically it was like being an estate agent, social worker, accountant and team leader all in one. I got to let flats, manage the building repairs and budgets, deal with tenant\u2019s support needs, rent arrears and anti-social behaviour. It was a real eye-opener. There\u2019s an assumption that older people don\u2019t misbehave. But I can assure you that if someone is an alcoholic, a drug user,&nbsp; prone to violent outbursts or promiscuity, they don\u2019t magically stop just because they are drawing their pension!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column
