Have you had this experience? I loved being a community carer. There are three reasons why I left...there was so much driving between clients,especially the ones that lived in rural areas...inadequate training but by far it was two ladies who had MS and were as nasty as they coud be with any carers that went to them. I understand that health problems can be so awful for the people that have them but the dread I felt going to these horrid ladies far outwayed the pleasure I got from looking after the really nice ones.I wonder if they were paying for their care and thought they could get away with it? your thoughts welcome.

The managers have managers MadeinYorkshire and the budget did not allow for travel time. It did allow for staff training though which is more than many agencies do. It was a retrograde step when Local Authority services were privatised.

Yes indeed, or 'owners'!

Doesn’t sound like the job for you.
As a former nurse, I couldn’t nor wouldn’t cherry pick to care for only the nicer patients. It just doesn’t work that way as all patients, nasty, abusive or violent deserve to be cared for.

I do hope you find something more suited to your skills.

And me.
