It's in a care home setting, several of them do but I've noticed that it'll always be the same friends working together.
We have residents who require two carers, known as the 'doubles' and then the 'singles'.
I've been there a few months and there are people who've been there a few years but who also socialise outside of work together.
On many shifts it'll be them two who say to me 'We're going to do the doubles together, could you do the singles."
Or if I offer to do the 'doubles', they will just say 'No it's ok, we'll do them.'
I don't think I'm awful at the job and surely would have not been kept on if I am, and people say I'm hardworking.
I think it is just a case of friends wanting to work together which seems very juvenile and school-like, I don't really care who I work with.
It can just be a bit isolating sometimes as I am working on my own most of the time. Which I don't mind, but it would be nice to build connections and work with people a bit more.
Care homes can be very cliquey sadly, not sure what I could do.
