Domicilliary care is very very stressful. This is what I do currently, thank God I’m leaving the job soon to continue my career as a nurse. Dorm carer is a glorified housemaid😢.
I'm thrilled she endured it and has been able to move forward to a better height! It all happens for a reason and we thank God for His faithfulness in Passy's life. This was certainly another easy , assuring and inspiring video Nanelle. Chop another virtual hug my love!❤
If you get a contract/offer letter, please let someone who is in the Uk and has insight to check it for you. Some of the offer is soo bad. You only come and latter realize it. Thats my little advice. But even if you come and you are having challenges ask for help ooo and advice from people who are here to support you. Dont be too quite and suffer in silence. Information is good. And if you need support from others, join groups, get connected to others and youll be fine😊
I feel like crying 😭😭 after watching this video. Thanks so much Nannelle for inviting the brilliant Nurses to share their experiences with us. More grace ❤❤❤
This is one of the best I've watched on your channel so far, Nanelle. Your guest was calm, candid, was not overly exaggerating and made no wild extrapolations. Sometimes, people need to hear this part of the bigger picture because it's becoming one too many how people make it look too rosy in the UK. I've been a senior lecturer in the UK for a few months now but I feel reluctant to share it because people will only look at what they think lecturers should earn forgetting about every other thing. But imagine how nice it will be to give the nitty-gritty of it to help others who would want to toe that line.
The problem is most people that work care don’t know their rights. No one is allowed to be nasty to you at work. You are allowed to refuse to go to a client house if they are rude to you or make you uncomfortable. You are not paid to be abused
@@ademolaadelekan8400 Do you know if you don't stand up for yourself, no one will?. It doesn't mean one should fight off every bs at work but been called a slave! No please. Cos when the bills got paid and the mental health is at the receiving end of all the lashes. That's not a progress.
@@ademolaadelekan8400 that sounds desperate and laced with low-self-esteem. It is a major offence to call someone a slave - it's verbal abuse. Don't allow anybody to destroy your mental health because it permanently destroys a person
Thank you so much, I really preferred Domiciliary over care home, I'm struggling to raise money to do driving since most require driving license, now I'm just going to volunteer, I have all the documents required , now I'm just going to volunteer
I had my own share of experience. But in all I am grateful cos the experience made me a better person. Dormicilliary is not for the faint hearted . And the pay is a NO NO. And most employers of Dormicilliary are mean I must say.
I love the fact that domiciliary care workers struggles has been addressed. I could elaborate further based on my own 3 years experience but I could also write the whole book about it😅😅 exploitation, challenging situations, lack of support and back up, being taken for servant rather than carer, disgusting house condition, frontine for numerouse negligence ..etc etc etc...
Very true what she is saying but I did domiciliary for 2 weeks and stopped to go to a nursing home. The zero hours was a put off and the timing. It is a killer job. I am happy for her
Great video! She forgot to mention that when your car breakdown, no hours for you until you fix it with your money, all you get from your agency is fuel or milage. My agency pays salaries monthly, which is OK but you get paid e.g. March 17 to April 18 salary on May 10. This means you get paid your one month's salary after extra 3weeks work. No weekend rate no bank holiday rate. Total slavery!!! 😭😭😭
This depends on the company though, because the domiciliary company I used to work for pays your required hours regardless of the client’s availability because it’s not your fault… all in all, Dom is too stressful I had to work 7-2, 4-10pm
If youre in the UK on a sponsoship visa you cannot be on a zero hour contracr and must be offered a salary of 37.5 hours a week. If not its illegal and if they dont provide this you can inform the home office and they will have their right to sponsor removed
Thank you Nanella for this video, I came into the Uk about a month plus now was lucky to get a support work, but do you know that when I resumed work I discovered that it's domiciliary work that I'm doing, that is moving from one client house to another. Stressful is an understatement, like this is more like slavery cos I work full time I leave the house by 6:30am and return home by about past 10 or 10:30pm for the days I work full day. I'm seriously searching for another job so I can quit.
Dom care is very interesting and challenging. For the following reasons ;1) You are never on time 2) When things go missing you are suspect 3) Some clients own exotic pets (giant snails, snakes, spiders, lizards, etc..., ), 4) it's always your fault, 5) you are always saying sorry.
Hi Nanella ,I am in the exact situation you guys just discussed about ,to say the least it's honestly depressing Please enlighten me/us on a way to get into better situations ,also do you know anything on NVQ's ..your help will be greatly appreciated 🙏
Personally I think many people don't know what domiciliary care means. Because it is community based job, it is only enjoyable if you have got a car and it can fit around your family life if you have got little one. Domiciliary care is like agency work it is an adhoc shift and it is advisable to register with multiple agency so that when one job has not got shift, then the other can.
With my company, you are mostly paired with a driver if you are a non-driver. So if they are double handed calls, you both go into the house. If you both have single calls on the run, the driver drops you at your call, goes off to complete theirs and comes back to pick you up for the next call
I think i made the right decision to get professional care certification because the teach us everything we need to know including residents rights and our rights as caregivers. I will definitely speak to my supervisor and leave. Am not desperate
My dear no update ooo it’s the old story being circulated heavily in the last few days …. Please watch this video ruclips.net/video/_7q_nxmMTfU/видео.html
People also claim that domiciliary carers only get paid for the time when they clock in at the client's and not for the time in between shift such as traveling between clients. Is this true?
Yes, if you get a 5 hours call for a whole day, assume your first call/client starts at 7.00 and your last call/client is 19.00, you only get paid for the 5hrs you login for your clients. All travel times are not paid for and your 5hrs are mostly scartered in a way that you have breaks of maybe, 1hr or 2hrs in between your calls/clients so you can't make good use of your extra hours. You end up finding yourself outside your home for 12hrs daily with little pay to show for it. Been working domiciliary since October last year, it is not for the faint hearted 😭😭😭
Yes as long as you sign to opt out of 48hrs a week. Meaning you are asked if you want to work more it’s your own decision and the employer didn’t force you.
It's about where one can be trained for OSSCE if you have any idea and secondly this should be private but as you can see my text on ig I will leave it here A friend of mine wants to interview you if that's possible how can he contact you. God bless

@@NanelleGriselda What's right got to do with it when you've got bills to pay?

All this is outlined in care certificate. People don't realize care certificate is your induction for care work.
Nanella, words fail me to express how much I appreciate your tenacity, keep being you and more courageous
Wow, thank you
Just the kind of information we need … God bless you Nanelle …congratulations again @Passy
Thank you

Woooow that’s tough !
So glad you mentioned the reference issue. No one talks about that! Major issue in the UK
Nurse Passypounds sounds calm❤
Very true
Passypounds ! Kudos to you darling 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Very true what she is saying but I did domiciliary for 2 weeks and stopped to go to a nursing home. The zero hours was a put off and the timing. It is a killer job. I am happy for her

Same with me
Same here 😢
Yes ooo most employees are very mean and not giving references at all. All my colleagues that has left use other agencies for reference
I've heard a lot about this particular domain hmm may God help us in the pursuit for a better life .
I always watch your videos but have never commented on any of them. I love your videos Nanelle God bless you ❤
Amen 🙏🏽
Wait till I share my own story!!!!! 😢
Dom care is very interesting and challenging. For the following reasons ;1) You are never on time 2) When things go missing you are suspect 3) Some clients own exotic pets (giant snails, snakes, spiders, lizards, etc..., ), 4) it's always your fault, 5) you are always saying sorry.
number 3 though 😬😬😬
Hi Nanella ,I am in the exact situation you guys just discussed about ,to say the least it's honestly depressing
Please enlighten me/us on a way to get into better situations ,also do you know anything on NVQ's ..your help will be greatly appreciated 🙏
Are you registered with an agency for shifts ? And with RCN ?
Personally I think many people don't know what domiciliary care means. Because it is community based job, it is only enjoyable if you have got a car and it can fit around your family life if you have got little one. Domiciliary care is like agency work it is an adhoc shift and it is advisable to register with multiple agency so that when one job has not got shift, then the other can.
👍🏾
Care work is very stressful
With my company, you are mostly paired with a driver if you are a non-driver. So if they are double handed calls, you both go into the house. If you both have single calls on the run, the driver drops you at your call, goes off to complete theirs and comes back to pick you up for the next call
That’s much better
Please which company
A friend was chased with a knife out of the house.
Jesus !
Hmmmm it was serious.
I can see her pain in her smile.
I love Portugal
😢This is sad being called a slave, mercy
If a qualified nurse with years of experience can cry before a domiciliary shift, I give up....
😂😂😂
She hadn't qualified as a nurse in uk so was working as a carer before she did osce
😂😂😂😂😂😂 don’t give up okay, at least this channel is giving us a lot of insight on how to go about such situations
God bless you Nanelle
Amen 🙏🏽
I think i made the right decision to get professional care certification because the teach us everything we need to know including residents rights and our rights as caregivers. I will definitely speak to my supervisor and leave. Am not desperate
Awwww passy you can say that again streeful job Domiciliary care
Thank you 🙏
Nanelle pls we need the new update on the UK red list. Cos the news trending are heartbreaking😫😫😞😒
My dear no update ooo it’s the old story being circulated heavily in the last few days …. Please watch this video ruclips.net/video/_7q_nxmMTfU/видео.html
Thank youuuuu🎉🎉
But she looks good😀😀😀😍😍😍
Passy!
She called the client a slave. It is painful. But it is true. She is a slave indeed.
First here🎉
Thank you 🙏🏽
What is written on a dom carer job title on a COS please
Nice contents
Thank you
And u have to pay for transport
Did u sign a contract with the company that brought you in????
A very thankless job with terrible pay
People also claim that domiciliary carers only get paid for the time when they clock in at the client's and not for the time in between shift such as traveling between clients. Is this true?
Very true your travel time is not paid for
Yes, if you get a 5 hours call for a whole day, assume your first call/client starts at 7.00 and your last call/client is 19.00, you only get paid for the 5hrs you login for your clients.

AMENNNNNNNNNNNN OOOOO
Please I would like to know if oet can be used in place of ielt
Yes you can use OET or IELTS. Both are acceptable
Only if you’re a health worker
Alright thanks
Jesus!
That’s complete exploitation 😢
Hello, could you please share where you got your hair/ wig with me? I really love it and would love to get one for myself. Thanks.
Is that even legal though? 7 days per week 8 hours per day?
Yes as long as you sign to opt out of 48hrs a week. Meaning you are asked if you want to work more it’s your own decision and the employer didn’t force you.
Are witnessing a new form of slavery😢😢😢😮😮
Hello Nanelle please I have sent you couple of messages on Instagram
Could you help me with answers please?
Hi dear is it possible to ask again here? My ig is flooded will be very difficult to find your message
It's about where one can be trained for OSSCE if you have any idea and secondly this should be private but as you can see my text on ig I will leave it here
A friend of mine wants to interview you if that's possible how can he contact you. God bless
