Interviews

Morning gang!

My ever so busy brain is up early…But it leaves my body still asleep!

I’m interviewing 2 prospective carers Thursday and Friday this week.

I’m just needing to employ 1, but now I’m wondering if I would be better with 2 job sharing??? It’s initially only a Sunday morning I need covering. But I also need them to cover Bev’s hols and any longer than a couple of days sick.

As you know, the Boudica’s Bev has just taken on more hours, since 2 of my previous carers finished. But as Bev is only human, she needs time off and has a family of her own.

At the mo, if Bev isn’t chez nous, poor old hubby is my stand in…And he like Moi, isn’t getting any younger nor fitter, bless him!

Any tips guys please? Cheers!

Morning

dont think you need to make any decisions until you’ve met them. Hopefully you’ll like both, and they you, and then see how flexible they are and what suits everyone. Having potential respite always useful probably, but decision might be obvious after you’ve spoken to them. Im sure it must be very difficult given the nature of the relationship, so just go with your gut xx

Hi, well I think I`ve got meself a new carer.

She is lovely…got all the necessary experience and training…and in dementia care…mmm!

Giving her a trial shift with Bev…her name is Tash…next Wednesday.

I feel a sense of relief after a anxious time.

You could start a carers training business. Get Bev to train em to her exacting standards. You road test them the ship them out to the rest of us. We could pay you in socks. I believe that post Brexit the ‘Sock’ will be legal tender in the U.K.

i knew there was a reason for me keeping a LOT of socks!

so an average sock (plain) will be worth 50p.

stripey socks £1

thermal socks £1

stripey thermal socks £1.50

and so on.

Better stock up on socks everyone!

There used to be a sock stall in the market. It’s now a cafe!

Wonder what they did with their unsold socks.

Do you think they may have gone underground?
