“Hi there, below is a list of issues that are prominent in my job role working in adult social care: Lack of staff and stretching of current staff leading to more staff leaving or feeling undervalued and 1:1s being unfulfilled; Low pay relative to the cost of living; Internal issues not being addressed by relevant persons such as management or head office; A high turnover of staff throughout a period of time;

Effects still felt from covid restrictions, for example, staff who left due to pressure on the state for vaccine mandates never came back and support services not as well run or attended since being set back up; Feeling unsupported by management, lack of communication and sometimes avoidance.”
