I also have a question on this, what's a standard week referenced by the HO is it Sun-Sat or Mon-Sun, because I usually wonder if overtime hours are calculated as an average over a number of weeks.

Like if taking overtime on sat and sun for instance -24hrs overtime counts as 1week. It's just not very clear

I honestly don’t have an idea, maybe others can give an insight.

Please check with the Home Office and update us with their response.

My trust engages the service of NHSP, and they generate Payslip differently.

Whatever their answer might be, kindly update us.

🙌🏻

I will give an update when I contact them.

You should be the one crying not me. You wey dey hustle factory work that breaks back, yet you spew trash about other people's job. If the people you know are stuck in care jobs for 7 years with no growth, its your damn business. It isn't surprising after all, all of una na hustlas as your moniker implies. People I know who started from care have risen to become care managers and owners of care companies. They earn very well and have huge investments both in the UK and Nigeria.

So focus on your lebuke or offloading of trailers and let others be. In a couple of years, they would have earned transferable skills for other roles outside care or would have grown in their profession while chilling as Permanent residents and you with your broken back from your lebuke will be hustling from one company to another for sponsorship.

Awon evidence crew, here you go
Man! Some of you lot are just hypocrites. This same Hustla, I’ve seen him talk about working in Support, this same guy, when a lady spoke about 2 opportunities, both in HealthCare and Tech, he advised her to go for the one she’s passionate about. This same guy has posted a number of times about Care jobs with visa sponsorship. But here you are, insulting factory workers but crying fowl that someone said one should not stay in care for long. You even went as far as repeating the same thing he said about rising into management positions by skilling up. But you want to shit on him so bad that you would rather not think but instead move to insults. Such a shame.

Just look at how you are ranting

Same person denying that no one has ever said care work is useless is now here spewing trash about the care profession. Is this not hypocrisy at its peak? Even nurses give bed pan to patients and do assist carers in attending to difficult residents. So nurses shouldn't work in a care facility as well?

A carer's role isn't all about personal care. Carers also give medication and many also learn to prepare care plans which is essential to becoming a manger or getting a more senior role.

All man is working towards one goal. Meet needs, enjoy life, and provide for offsprings Whether na topay rent (dead money 😁) or sleep under bridge o, or pay mortgage.

It’s all towards one direction, BILLS……..

E no pass like that.
This mindset of Nigerians and Africans, in classifying labour, is based on where they come from and how life is there.

People in advanced countries like in the uk, careless, most times. They just follow what suits them and give them peace and fulfillment.

Nigeria? No, you must wear tie, enter office, and use biro and be analyst or sedan for computer 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

You have never seen any post denigrating care workers. You still dey find evidence? Dey play. By the way I only stated some of the hazards of factory work and did not denigrate it. Hustle is hustle.

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by bigtt76(f): 12:16am On Nov 15, 2023
I keep saying we need to respect our hustles. No profession is useless to the person doing it so far as it brings food to the table and help clear bills. Having said this, support and care jobs are much more than what it is portrayed. I have listened to people paint it bad before others but remain in it. Others have painted it rosy... At the end it all boils down to you seeking employment to do your research on what you want or what you don't want.

On the rent issue, like the care and support issue, it's just a friendly advice to not be too comfortable doing things temporarily but rather work towards self-sustenance in our lives.

An IT Professional from Nigeria now doing care or support or factory jobs to make ends meet for example should not try to make it permanent (except that's their preference though). Same with paying rent... You can't continue paying £1500 every month for years, aim at getting your own place if you can. That's all... Friendly advice we shouldn't be tearing head over 🤷🏿‍♀️🙌🏾

I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about or what you’re even on about.

You outlined something that piqued my interest about rent payment vis a vis purchasing properties, I wanted to see more about how to approach property-buying in the UK and asked for a section specifically dedicated to that.

Pray tell, how and where does this question say to “carry” anything anywhere?? :

“Please is there a dedicated nairaland section for UK housing and other mortgage topics?”

What’s in the air today? God abeg 🥴

Well said.
Left to me care jobs should be for those who have the capacity and empathy for it.
I can't even imagine having to need support or loved one needing support and then the care worker is one who thinks so badly of it.
It's like being left to your fate with a doctor that is just in it ONLY for the money..that's how coverups and mismanagement and death can happen.
, people you care would do these things themselves if they could butt hey can't.

You definitely living rent free in my head.

That is exactly why I have not done it because I don’t have the capacity or passion for it. People doing such job whether for the money or love for it deserves nothing but respect from me.

Thank you bro

hayesconcept:
She should apply for NIN first. Tell her to search for NIN enrollment center in the UK for Google. She will then pay like £40 for NIN enrolment. She should then apply for her passport. The passport might not be ready in January but she can still apply for her visa with the expired passport, passport application form and a cover letter that explains that her passport is not yet ready. Problem solved
