Here Robert introduces himself.
“I’m Robert and my job is to help care staff get a fairer life at work. I’m based in Aberdeen and am talking to social care workers all over the Grampian region about how to make your working life better. I want to help you and your colleagues make the changes you want to see.
Lots of social care workers have got concerns, and may feel isolated and worry about raising concerns. But the same issues keep coming up in every employer, in every location. It’s hard to change things on your own, but together we can.
Low pay, understaffing, rota changes at short notice, a lack of respect, too much pressure, not being listened to, not enough time to help service users, SSSC registration. The list goes on.
“I’m here to talk to you in confidence – look out for the purple t-shirt!
