Caring for the elderly and sick, helping with household chores, providing emotional support.
How much do people earn for such work in Ukraine? And why, despite the importance of social services, does this sector remain chronically underfunded by the state?

The UK *desperately* needs nurses, health care assistant, health case associates, social care workers, social workers, care staff, etc.

gov.uk/health-care-worker-visa

Please be aware the work itself is low-paid, thankless, not often enough to live on, in shitty conditions, and very often exploited by awful employers.

HOWEVER, there is a strong-ish third sector and union presence, and rising. Most normal (non-billionaire, non-millionaire) people *are* starting to notice that life sucks and is too expensive to scrape by.
The food quality, while overpriced, is generally healthier and safer than the USA. For now.

(Plus, if a bunch of queer americans flood the care work space, MAAAAYBE we can make it less horribly ableist, classist, awful, and life-sucking.)

Either way: join local organisations, find other nerds, try new hobbies, save what money you can, plan for contingencies where possible and DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP.

Berlin, looking for personal assistant, disability

Not a real job (only some hours of paid flexible assistance), but I don’t know a better word #JobAlert #JobSearch #personalAssistant #careWork #Disability

Good relative time of the day, my youth is rightfully sad again that their nurse/assistant is not working today, so another lucky shot: Is their anyone who is interested in becoming a long-term personal assistant to them? Currently it would only be a few hours a week (no body and health care), probably mostly on Saturdays in Northern Berlin-Pankow. I can offer 18€/h.

Since kid is blind and mostly relying on hearing and German language with communication, assistants need to have very good knowledge of German and communication habits in general.

And it helps a lot if you like (washing) machines, trains and language and are #ActuallyAutistic or something similar.

re: Covid, Rant einer Pflegefachperson

@wasdnedsagsd Ganz ehrlich, bei den Erlebnissen kann ich verstehen wenn keiner mehr Bock auf #Carework allgemein und #Pflege im besonderen hat.

  • Ernsthaft, Hut ab an euch alle! In meinen Augen solltet ihr alle mindestens ne 1 vorne dran oder ne Null hintern dran mehr verdienen!

Angesichts des totschweigens von #Covid [ denn ja, #CovidIsNotOver & #COVIDisAirborne ] ist es gut zu sehen wenn es menschen gibt die nicht auf 'Finger ins Ohr, Augen Zu und dann ists weg!' machen...

Ich hoffe ihr werdet weiter #KeepMasksOn praktizieren: Zumindest aus #Eigenschutz...

  • Wie gesagt, bestell' deinen Kolleg*innen nen Gruß und erkennt euch selbst an! Ihr leistet gutes auch wenn dies nicht in dem Maße gewürdigt oder anerkannt wird wie es sollte!!!
