During the Covid pandemic, Ellie held a demanding position within the NHS, braving the high pressures of the healthcare environment.
However, with the joyful news of her pregnancy, Ellie decided it was time to embark on a career transition after her maternity leave. Ellie wanted to create a better balance between her professional pursuits and the needs of her growing family.
After some research, Ellie decided to complete a Skills Bootcamp in HGV driving.
Her father was an HGV driver and so she felt she understood what could be involved, and with three children, the increase in salary was also very appealing.
The Skills Bootcamp course was flexible and Ellie was able to fit it easily around family life.
