Care Assistant jobs.

Advantages: Meet lovely people,rewarding.
Disadvantages: Cleaning up vomit,etc,early mornings,rates of pay.

...for a job as a Carer,I was invited for an informal chat,where basically I spoke with the manager,was told the basic hours I would be working and told to tone down my jewellry! The company understood my studying situation and said whatever hours I would like,I could do. At the time I settled for 15 hours a week. I must state that I personally work as RESIDENTIAL and not NURSING,where there is a vast difference. So what does being a Carer involve? Basically you are there to assist Eldely Clients in their day to day needs and generally trying to make their lives as enjoyable as possible. This involves: Getting them up in the morning. Helping them to wash. Helping them dress. Playing games with them Chatting to them Bathing them Taking them to the toilet Assisting them to the table Feeding them (if needed),and this is to name...

Review of Cirque Du Freak - The Vampire's Assistant (DVD)

The Vampire's Assistant, what a sequel!!

Advantages: anyone of any age can enjoy, gripping storyline
Disadvantages: really difficult to put the book down

...General introduction to the book The vampire's assistant. Part two of the amazing 'Saga of Darren Shan', and the sequel to the excellent 'Cirque du Freak', as the front cover tells us - "Cirque du freak - the nightmare continues..." As we know, this 'nightmare' is what Darren's life is turning into, as at the end of the first book we see Darren having to become a half-vampire as Mr Crepsley's assistant in order to save his best friend Steve Leonard (or as Darren calls him Steve Leopard). He also has to fake his death because he realises he can no longer live a normal human life with the vampiric blood running through his veins. The official introduction at the beginning of the book My name's Darren Shan. I'm a half vampire. I wasn't born that way. I used to be ordinary. I lived at home with my parents and younger sister...

Review of The Vampire's Assistant - Darren Shan

Manages much better than I imagined it would

Advantages: funny
Disadvantages: acting

...Do you ever watch a film that you expect to be poor, but go into it with low expectations and come out happily surprised? Well, never was this more appropriate than with 'Management', the new rom-com from Jeniffer Aniston. The plot revolves around Sue a traveling sales-woman who stays in a remote motel run by a quirky family. The son in the family (Mike), takes a liking to Sue, and tries to chat her up during her stay. She guesses this, and just wanting to get rid of him, lets her feel his bum. This tips Mike over the edge, and he soon goes on a round the states road-trip to find her and woo her. This film is a mix of rom-com and wannabe 'Juno'-esque independent. The music and some of the plot is aiming for Sundance film festival, and noticeably so. Still, I quite liked it! The thing I liked about is the way it differs from your...

Review of Management

Managed to entertain me

Advantages: Some good acting,
Disadvantages: Felt cheap, some silly bits

...Sue Claussen works selling art, and everything is normal in her life when she checks into a motel one night. Unluckily for her, the night manager Mike spots Sue and decides to woo her with a bottle of champagne. Sue tries to spurn his advances, but ends up letting him get closer to her than she expected. When she obviously has to return home, Mike decides to follow Sue even though she makes it clear she's isn't interested and has a boyfriend of her own. Mike won't give up though, and despite some of his own personal troubles, goes about trying to win Sue over and make her love him back. Will the bumbling hotel manager win the rich art dealer's heart, or can't she look past appearances and job titles? This was another of my library spots and one I watched simply because it's got Jennifer Aniston in it as I think she's a pretty good...

Review of Management (DVD)

Management-Falls below the mark

Advantages: Steve Zahn's performance.Some funny parts
Disadvantages: nconsisntent,story is lost at times

...I didn't even hear about this till recently when I decided to give it a watch considering it was a romantic comedy.Directed by Stephen Belber and starring Jenifer Aninston and Steve Zahn,this film is rather slow for its genre. Sue(Aninston) is a travelling art seller and checks into a motel where the manager falls for her and comes up with new ideas to interact with her.Things take a twist when Sue allows her to grab her butt after he compliments her.The next morning, she ends up having sex with him before leaving the motel which makes it more complex. What she thought was a passing thing turned out to be more as Mike followed her and continued to keep in touch. The film takes place over the course of a few years as Mike keeps chasing her despite the presence of her boyfriend.Some scenes are really funny but the writing is weak...

Review of Management

I Cared enough to Assist

Advantages: To know that you have made a real difference to someones life
Disadvantages: Can be sad, depressing and hard work at times

...volatile environment. This is the second chapter in the Kazzie Career series! Read..and enjoy.. I hope! Only put the kettle on, this is a 'longie' that's if Ciao don't do a Deano on me!! Ahh paranoia creeping in mow! (4. Patient has chest pain if she lays on her side for over a year!) After cleaning and buffing and dusting and being a scrubber ;o) for a few years I decided to take the plunge and apply for the job as a temporary Health Care Assistant on a Care Of The Elderly Ward at one of the local hospitals. It was a 3-month contract and I decided that while I was doing this I would gain some experience and join the nurse ‘bank’. So that when it did end if I had not secured a more permanent position in the Trust by then I would be able to work as and when I could get shifts with the ‘bank’. This was April 4...

Review of Health Care Assistant

BSc Management Studies

Advantages: Great learning
Disadvantages: Hefty bills

...I attended a BSc Management Studies course at a north london university. Westmin ster. The course lasted 3 years on a full time basis, that meant no dole, no real time to work if i was serious about completing this course. The course cost approximately £1000 a year though i am sure the prices for a full time course are slightly higher these days. Though where there is a willingness to learn there is always a way regardless of the price paid. Method of study is lecture based on a 1 sometimes 2 hour in a lecture theater reading (per subject). A 1 hour seminar meeting with an allocated tutor is also offered every other fortnight. Some weeks there may be a seminar other weeks none. The quality of the lecturers. Some were completely useless in explaining foreign topics. What i mean by this, is that they would give out a piece...

Review of Business & Management

Managing your way to the top

Advantages: The way the game is trying to involve the player more
Disadvantages: The editor is a huge cheating tool and the 3D pitch can make the game last longer

...This review is for Football Manager 2010. Setup I have honestly got to say this game seems to take forever to load up on to the computer and it must be down to the size of the game. You have got here a game which is over 1 GB and it takes an awful lot to load on to the computer so you?re going to spend about 25-30 minutes loading this game up. Now you have the option of loading the entire game up from the disc on to your computer or using a system online named steam. The idea behind steam is that you provide this program with your disc unique code and then you can play the game whenever you want without the disc inside the computer and receive updates for free for the game. The option is up to you but for me I chose steam as it was quicker and provided me with more. Starting When the game begins obviously you...

Review of Football Manager 2010 (PC)

The ups and downs of life as a care assistant

Advantages: Interacting with the residents
Disadvantages: Poor pay

...I work as a care assistant on the dementia (SRC) unit of a residential care home. I've held my current post for a year now, having started off work in the kitchen. On the SRC unit we have 12 residents with varying needs, which is why I find it so interesting and rewarding. There are those who are more aware of their situation and surroundings and only get the odd moment of confusion about what time of day it is, for example, and then there are those who think they are still children and will spend a lot of time looking for their parents. Some experience hallucinations and delusions, thinking their rooms have been bugged or someone is trying to murder them, and others have difficulty communicating - they know what they want to say, but the wrong words come out and us carers have to try and decipher what they are meaning...
