Sorry if this goes on a bit, but having lost my job I think I'm beginning to get a bit depressed and am having difficultly thinking about what I really want to do, and what is out there.
I've been made redundant from teaching and in my area at the moment there just aren't any jobs out there.
I was thinking about setting up as a 'one woman band' offering hourly care in people's own homes, just by advertising very simply on corner shop notice boards etc.
I've struggled to research the legalities behind this - does anyone have any experience? Do I need to set up a business to do it etc?
I really don't want to go and work for an agency, but do love working with older people (I trained as a nurse years ago so have abit of experience).
I know there is a need for care/help in the home, but I also know that alot of agencies out there are already doing it. My selling point would be that it would be very personal/build a relationship with me/ I would do very small periods of time if required / I would work casually etc.
Am I going mad with all this time to think, at home, or does anyone think I might get some work??!!
