An Edinburgh dad has shared how a new apprenticeship has allowed him to find his calling in life and restore balance in his family life.
Gavin Burgess, 34, says that he was unsure of what to do with his life when in his twenties but after he and his wife Susan had their first daughter Olivia he had to put family first. This led to him having to undertake a painstaking schedule of night shifts, daytime child care and college.
Like most young families, the cost of early years childcare was a massive stress and they had to decide what was feasible for their household. They decided that as Susan returned to work, Gavin would use his management experience to secure a night shift role with Sainsbury’s.
