Health Care Assistant (Current Employee) - County Cork - 4 December 2017

The problem with being a healthcare assistant for the Hse out in the community is we work long days. Our service is in high demand in the morning up until lunch ,the afternoons not so much so in order for me to make a wage I go out again in the evening as this is also a time that's in demand . So if you can follow my drift I finish most days around three o clock but I am back out again for sixthirty so my time is spent watching the clock . Some of my colleagues are working 12 days with 2 days off then back into a 12 day cycle again in order to make a decent living hence my reason for looking elsewhere at this stage for regularity and security.

Pros

Looking after wonderful people

Cons

The long days to make up the hours, plus we spend a minimum of 30 minutes with some of the people we take care of, very few of us leave after 30 minutes, sometimes it's not possible and so that's our time we are giving .
