Hi all,
Just found out I have 4 rejections for medicine (cue sobbing), so I have been applying for HCA type work to to do while I take a gap year.
I've been offered 2 jobs and just wondered if you could help me decide which would be best with my suture goal in mind.
1) Care Assistant in a christian nursing home, full time. Dealing with dementia, difficult behaviour, personal routines etc.
2) Healthcare Assistant in a community setting, travelling to people's homes, assisting with personal routines and facilitating independent living. Full time, pays slightly more.
Any advice appreciated, or suggestions of other job types. (There are no NHS HCA vacancies in my area unfortunately).
