@C7RKY @goldylookfleece That's horrible. I worked in residential school for kids w autism & challenging behaviours - tough job, v.rewarding
@MatSilk @goldylookfleece DId you? Didn't know that. I can imagine how rewarding it can be, but I most certainly recognise the tough bit too
@C7RKY @goldylookfleece Yes, when I was 18. First and only job in care, quite eye-opening in many ways, not least how staff are treated
@MatSilk @goldylookfleece I daren't even ask. Was that a private provider? I often wonder what dynamic profit produces behind the scenes.
@C7RKY @goldylookfleece I think gov funded, maybe related in part to education funding (Nat curriculum); v.low pay, tho lots of overtime
@MatSilk @goldylookfleece We bumped into our lad's nursery 121 today. He hadn't seen her in 2yrs, but beamed & threw his arms around her. >
@MatSilk @goldylookfleece Judging by the look on her face & the tear in her eye, that was why she did the job. Sure they all deserve double!
@C7RKY @goldylookfleece Yes - worked w some great people. Too often tho, v.undiscerning recruitment practice & poor training & supervision
