Joanne was made redundant from her job in a job centre, and put her redundancy package towards a degree. Halfway through the second year, she became pregnant and needed to pause the degree. After 18 months on Income Support, she is desperate to return, but can no longer afford the fees. She is searching for a job that will pay a living wage and cover tuition and nursery fees. At the job centre, she was referred to a basic English course and a job at Morrison’s. She says, “If I get the job, how much money am I going to be earning? Once you are stuck in one of those jobs, you are stuck. There is no space for you to try and improve anything.”
