Day in the Life of a Care Assistant

Our care assistants talk about what a typical day might involve visiting customers in their own homes.

Everyone at some point in their life will develop impairments and having caring people who can help you get through it makes a great difference it's life fulfilling ..........hats off to every carer out there

Yes, care assistant job...relate to this, it is one of the funniest jobs because I have met a lot of personalities, different people with different stories, and because that job requires a lot of communication. Great share! :)

[@Harry.O]

What location was this at?

[@erikas6429]

Underpaid,undervalued,you will be broken physically and financially at the end....i never understood why people born here chose to do this job.Why they couldnt do better?Iv done it long enough but i had no choice at the beginning as foreigners usually dont start with amazing opportunities.But iv managed to study and get a much better job at the end.Cant get it why people are willing to be a care assistant all in their life.

What do you do now?

[@sassi7966]

Some people have had a very hard life, full of trauma and that hasn't left them physically or mentally able to do the top jobs. Some people don't have a natural academic high IQ. Maybe they weren't pushed / supported at school and at studies. Some people have things holding them back, learning disabilities or physical problems. Now do you understand why some people do this job? Maybe try and understand that for some, it's not a "bottom of the barrel" job...but instead it's one where they feel it is more rewarding than it is demeaning. Or that it is a calling. I admire anyone who does this job with a positive and happy heart. It's difficult in many ways, but it doesn't have to be as awful as you make out. A lot of it is working in the right place, suitable to you and in a good work environment. You could be in a top job and if the workplace and people are toxic you would suffer the same as what you said..... I for one had that all my life in office work but never in care work.
