      Understaffed company

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The clients, most of them are adorable and they can light up your day.

      Cons

      -Not enough training -They are understaffed so they rely on the good will of the carers to take shifts that they can cover, without giving you enough time to move from one house to another or leaving you without any time for eating something during the day.

      Rewarding but with low pay and support

      Home carer

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Very rewarding, you learn new skills, clients are lovely and appreciative

      Cons

      Pay is low, client visits are too short for what's asked of you, you are not paid for travelling to and from your first and last appointment which came be 40 minutes away and you get no pay for travelling time between clients. Fuel rates are extremely low and for me, I was paying more on travel than I was getting paid. I find support to be very poor as well. I was shy to a remote area and it's dark and hazardous weather wise at night and in winter. You are expected to get to a client within 15 minutes which is impossible all the time and you end up running late at the end of the day working 2 hours of your own time, plus unpaid travelling time. Internet is poor in remote areas and it's hard to log on and off. Scheduling is poor and often two of us show up for a minimum support type job.
