Advertising a fairly basic job in a small town, no skill set required.
We have had over 150 applicants so far and there are a ridiculous number that work / have worked here and there for very short periods in the care system. mainly elderly and disabled personal care.
In between month long stints in hair salons and meat packing places etc.
I'm just a bit shocked, call me naive (clearly I am) but I thought that there would have to be some kind of qualifications required for that type of role, or at the very least a bent towards a caring / NHS minded nature?
They seem to be using personal care roles to get a bit of money before the next hop to any old job. How can the personal care of a totally vulnerable person be treated as cavalierly as this?!
