I’m a care assistant, ask me anything

Do you feel valued?

What would improve your job role?

What does your job include? How many people do you care for? Do you find it physically demanding?

@chickedeee yeah I do it feels good knowing how much we’re helping the residents. We’re always being told how much we’ve helped people and how much they appreciate what we do

@JustMyName my job is just to help with everyday living for the elderly residents in our home. I help with getting them up, washed and dressed, assisting with meal times, helping the residents take part in activities and attend appointments etc

There’s about 50+ rooms in the home which is divided into 3 floors

Yes it can be physically demanding as some of the residents are unable to move so can be a lot of manual handling.

@chickedeee forgot to answer your second question. Having more staff would improve my job
