Best thing
The team I work with and the people I support
Worst thing
The pay. We do a job that in residential care a team leader does for 1 percent above min wage. We administer and order medications and have full access to monies

Best thing
Contact time with pupils and summer Holidays.
Worst thing
Stupid hours. Admin, assessment grade input, report writing, marking (they don’t care what it says after a few words).
