The Secret Care Worker

I am a dementia care home worker. There is a storm coming, insufficient funding and a chronic lack of staff. I hope to share an insight through my experiences.

I’ve started a blog. I’m hoping to post twice a week, when my shifts allow it. https://t.co/HPFrteeFiU

@allisonseatery @DeborahMeaden Do you only pay minimum wage?

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

@TribesBritannia You have an unhealthy obsession and potential mental issues.

@CharlotteCGill You are one of the baddies.

@steviebalfour @Al_roar @ewwhomie @TRobinsonNewEra @Josh_96_ You realise Christianity is even older medieval beliefs?

@GillianKeegan @Conservatives Any stats to back this up?

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

@Manchester_kin9 @Conservatives 😂😂😂

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

Throughout this entire leadership debate, nobody has mentioned carers. We will be invisible, regardless of who wins. @trussliz @RishiSunak

@GillianKeegan You won’t respond to this but it’s a desperate plea, on behalf of care workers. So many of us are paid minimum wage. Why? We can’t afford to live, even though our job is so difficult. What will you do?

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

I’m back and I apologise for my absence.

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

@RishiSunak What will you do to increase the pay of social care workers, to align it with NHS pay?

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

@NadineDorries Sounds like a party we can trust.

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

@mrjamesob I am a care worker. Tried to get through today. Can somebody speak to you on Monday?

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

@LeilaniDowding His brother is lovely though.

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

@NellyPhant @JuliaHB1 Carer. No pay increase, just a shortage of staff.

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

@GillianKeegan @sturdy_deborah It’s equally important that we are paid the REAL living wage or at least in line with NHS staff.

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

@DanRealityBites We can only hope. And laugh.

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

@DanRealityBites I suppose it is something to be admired, to be able to act as you please with no serious repercussion.

[The Secret Care Worker @TheCareWorker]

@DanRealityBites Who voted for admiration?
