Work is Possibilities

SJ Bradley recorded on 18/11/2022

SJ Bradley is an author, short story writer & creative writing tutor. She has taught short story writing for Comma Press and for First Story a charity in Leeds and Bradford, and recently graduated a PGCert from Cambridge University Institute of Continuing Education, which she attended with a bursary from First Story.

SJ has been working part time in jobs in the third sector or local communities, and working part-time has allowed her to continue doing creative work. Most of her jobs have involved working directly with people to improve their emotional wellbeing & mental health.

During the pandemic, SJ changed jobs several times, due to a combination of bad luck and at one point, being made redundant. Some of this was due in part to decisions made not to commute long distances to work anymore and to only ever look for work that was either remote or based in Leeds.
