I started a job on friday as a night care assistant. I am contracted to 3x10hr shifts.
On my first night at the home I was counted in the numbers, there was me and one other carer for 30 residents. I didn't get a break and had to get 15 residents up between 5:30am and 8am. I have not had a CRB check done with them (i know I'm safe, but they don't) and they have not asked for proof of ID, references, training certificates...and they just let me go on my own to deal with residents, whom i do not no and they do not know me. I came home mentally drained and feel sick about going back there. to make matters worse, they have put me on overtime for 2 extra shifts a week. can i do anything, other than just quit!!
