M8st of staff are great residents are all lovely.

Cleaning up mess messy people

Looking after people

Not working as a team

Many of my colleagues and co-workers are friendly. They help my nurturing nature.

If under pressure of time, it can start to get stressful.

The people I look after

Have a laugh with residents....my personal best is that

Bullying, picking on people, lies to get ones ssdss

Supportive line manager and general manager. Good care provision and high standards. Good working environment

Time constraints, dependency levels in relation to staffing

My residents

Manager and work load .

Learning, caring, have an impact on people's lives

Overload of paper, ratio of staff, lack of skills of new starters, short and poor induction training

Caring for the residents

Extremely physically demanding with not enough time to properly look after residents

people i work with

not paid enough

Close team members.

Lack of communication. Hours not knowing what shift I’m on one week to next makes childcare really difficult

not much

Lack of teamwork

Learning a wide range of skills.

Draconian management. Unrealistic targets. Understaffing.

Most if the team are good

Divisive management, if you don’t keep quiet and say no then you’re out

Residents other staff.

The heat

I enjoy seeing the residents eating their meals.

Management and their misunderstanding of how hard the job is. The wage.

Residents

Staff and the structure

helping and caring for the elderly

12 shifts, long days

The residents

Never enough staff
