Mr Boris Johnson
I’m one of your so called UNSKILLED workers. I am a carer/support worker and I’m now in the frontline of corona virus. I’m looking after a vulnerable population, the same population that is high risk. To do MY unskilled job I have to have yearly training BY LAW, by yours and your peers LEGISLATION, but IM UNSKILLED? I HAVE to know by law infection control BUT I’m UNSKILLED? I take care of people everyday, I check skin integrity but I’m UNSKILLED?, we assist and administer medication an many of those are CONTROLLED but, Im UNSKILLED I’m the one that’s there when no one else is. Would you like me to take care of one of your loved ones? I would because I CARE, as do my fellow carers and that MR Johnson is a SKILL that can’t be trained with a university degree!!! its a DEGREE in humanity, we are probably more SKIlLLED because we do at least 50 jobs in one day in a life of being a support worker
All carers I’m with you and thank you for what WE do everyday as unskilled workers ###x
Could ALL of my friends who work in health and social care and have friends who work in care copy this, maybe we might be heard!!
