Bed-blocking crisis 'not going away' in Cornwall
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-34724958
Just caught part of a BBC news report on the NHS, socal care has a recruitment crisis, but it seems workers are paid min wage £9.50. Given the work they do, level of responsibility they deserve a lot more.
As a teaching assistant I earn MORE, as do workers at supermarkets and elsewhere. No wonder there is a recruitment crisis, We need to change our attitude to these workers and see them as highly skilled, valuable members of the NHS and community care workforce.
Community care worker
£9.20 to £11 per hour
If that is their NEW website it has not been updated since 2021, they have a blog post that new site is live so the absence of link suggests this is their new site too.
As a techie, not remotely impressed, no wonder they are having issues.
I bet they pay the web site person more than £11 an hour.
Yeah just doesn't look good to have it not updated, since 20021 though but i understand what you have said here.
@zleap had a look at the website, looks like standard Wordpress but the sort of thing an external company is contracted to do as a one off - they then usually give the access details to someone in the office to update the blog/news bit but no one has been doing that (which also suggests the admin office is overworked/understaffed, which will impact on the care)
