Polish Home Carers Needed in Colchester, Essex, UK [60]
Many of us may earn more than £ 16,000 a year but many of us also forget that large sections of the population will be earning approx £ 16k so I don't think people should get snobby about it
Its a ****, unskilled job but its more than minimum wage. My brother works in an office and gets paid less than £16K.
What everyone if ignoring is that Working Tax Credits could take the wage up to £27k per year with Housing Benefit (local council pays the rent).For those who don't know the UK's social system, anyone working more than 16 hours per week has their wage topped up with 'in-work' social security payments. The idea is to force/encourage the unemployed to work and make it worthwhile.
but you see the manager getting alot more driving around in s flashy car laughing all the way.
Half the care homes in the UK are on the brink of bankruptcy. They are desperate for staff as its takes a lot of people to run these places and even at £900 per person per week the economics are precarious.
