In this episode, host Sommer speaks to John, a senior support worker in one of Changing Lives' Supported Living Services for young people. These services support vulnerable young people in housing need, including care leavers, who require assistance to develop the skills and confidence necessary to live with reduced support and, over time, to live semi-independently or independently. John left home aged 17 and spent time in Changing Lives' supported accommodation himself. He talks to us about his journey and about his career in social care.
