A Ukrainian mum has become one of the first refugees to find work in the UK as she started her job as a beautician - and her boss is already singing her praises. Valeriia Starkova, 37, fled the war-torn city of Kharkiv with her family to move into a house in Cambridgeshire last month.
Now she has become one of the first Ukrainian refugees to find a job since arriving in the UK. Mum-of-two Valeriia, started her new position as a nail technician at a beauty salon in Cambridge this week.
Valeriia, who has two kids called Alikhan, 10, and Kamila, 12, and worked the same role in Ukraine, said: "It feels fantastic. I haven't been working for two months so I've been waiting for this day for quite a long time.
