it made me wonder if i actually want to do care work anymore...i've been thinking about this for a while, last week i applied for a job at outpatients at The Royal Blackurn as an auxilary
do i really want to do that though? i've also thought about retail or school work
if i do go down the retail route, other than charity shops, where can i get some experience from?
if i stay with what i know and go for care, where do i get the desired experience for that??
you'd be a bit buggered if you'd never ever worked before in your life wouldnt you
this is doing my nut in, anyone want to give me an unpaid job in retail for a couple of weeks?  |
Just thought this was worth a mention, you say you have an NVQ in care at level 2 you could join NHS professionals on the their bank system and work as many hours as you wish plenty of work offered, until you get the job your looking for, not bad rates of pay their are other agencies too i know offering between 8-10 pounds per hour basic, better rates at weekends nights and bank holidays.
Its a way to see if you like this type of work, holiday pay too included i think you start with 6 or 7 weeks holiday pay.
