Hi all, just wanted to write everything down and any advice help will be appreciated. Currently 33, mum to 6 year old twins. 14 years experience in health and social care, 8 years of that was in the NHS as a healthcare assistant then a radiography assistant. I moved on from there over a year ago as there was no progression at the time and I felt like it has ran its course. Since then I have been working as a carer support worker. This entails a lot of emotional support work, signposting, completing carers needs assessments, helping with benefit advice, forms, writing bids for funding to start new projects. A lot to it, but I do enjoy it! It's flexible which is great but I just think that pay is so poor. £11.60 an hour and I just feel bitter about it, with the costing of living going up I am really struggling to survive on this wage. I've been looking for other jobs but just can't see anything I feel I'd enjoy , not without going back to shift work. Again, not sure the point of this post but hoping someone may have some advice. Feel like I should have a career in mind at this point :( .
