I like to be on my feet moving around I even looked at Porter jobs but the pay isn’t great I just want to be able to interact with patients etc but also have a good wage to be able to still be able to rent a place and go on holidays etc. Also is the pension good?

I have been searching for more information about my duties of care etc. I have worked as a youth worker, a childcare assistant and singing teacher.. But i have worked in retail from 2017 to Present. I have missed working with people. I'm very much a people person and want to make a difference to someone's day. But I'm not going to lie, I am so nervous.... To take care of vulnerable people is such a big undertaking. I have a bad back that's my one concern, Occupational health are aware but I want to make sure I don't cause myself any further damage..

That varies on what happens and which hospital. Generally as a hca you fill in basic patient records on paper notes. These are differnt to where nurses, doctors, pharmacy and therapy write. It's still formal and must be done but it basically is asking if they have used the bathroom, what there skin is like, if they have eaten. That kinda thing.

As a physio they often like you because, even in training you have skills other dont. But they will also want probably full time and I'm not sure that would work arround your course. It didnt for me. So they may wish someone whose likely to stay longer. Yes. But couldnt say for sure so it maybe worth a try. Re. Hca. If you work bank shifts yes in reason but not if full time employed.

The family that host me treated me badly and now I find myself without hope. I wanted to be a health care assistant but I don't really know how. I tried sending my CV to some agencies but they told I need experience with the elderly. Can you please help me? By telling me how to apply. It's really urgent, I don't have enough money and I really want to do this job, I think I'm the right person for this.

I have used this for years. To save money you can buy a family pack on the (evil) Amazon. Currently £8.99 for a pack 5 humble brushes. That's £1.80 each. Yes it does help save the planet. Yes in my opinion it is one of the simplest eco action we can take. Personally I have no issues with the cleanliness of the brush. I have been using my current one way longer than the recommended 3 months and it still seems fine. The humble brush company has their own charitable organisation the Humble smile foundation where they help those in disadvantaged countries get access to oral care. So the more humble brush products bought the more they can help the world. Apparently the humble brush was developed by dentists. We have to make changes now as there is no #planetb.

Good review. I have been buying the poo paper for years, and swear but it. If you are okay in paying a little extra, think of it this way. Many, many children die each day from sanitation (or lack thereof) causes each day. Building proper toilets is a massive step to good sanitation,. The little extra you pay saves lives. I understand that in the current world many people may not have those few extra pence or cents, but to those of us who do please consider Who Gives a Crap. The other advantage is Who Gives a Crap worked very hard to keep those who subscribed to them supplied with TP this year. I don’t subscribe, but I bought 48 rolls, and that kept me going.
