just wondering as im in a position where i want to change jobs and i want a rewarding career where i can do some good with any luck, may sound strange but im interested in what i haev to do ect

 

My wifes a social worker in fostering & adoption. dont touch it with a barge pole. for one appreciative person u get bout 3 ungrateful b*****ds. stress is big part of the job. good luck if you choose this path

 

i know u could be a group support worker



















as you know how hard it is to grow up bieng ginger you could help others





sorry mate really aint got a clue try your local council offices i would expect

 

 

i was being serious, i wanna have a new job and want somink that i can enjoy and feel like im doing good


i wanna help people so they dont grow up like ima or you grant

 

If you want to do good, don't work in the social work

 

You need to do an access to social work course m8, that is if you dont have the revelant qualifications to go on to uni to study it.

This is what im doing in september, but the councilling side. I want to teach it in the end. My aunt did the same route as this 5 years ago and now teaches at various uni's.

 

Scoial work yuck!

Ginge u will find u might need a Qualification/traning for it etc. Why not stay in same job and get a day of a week to study a course? Ie only work 4 days a week or is that not an option cos of Ł? Maybe there is some grants out there to help? Worth talking to some peeps to find out whats out there to help you mate.

 

rhys i cant as i quit my job last week as the general manager is a 2 faced lying wanker so instead of dealing with the tosser anymore i quit my job

ive been looking at jobs i can do that i will wanna stick to and i can get a form of satisfaction and wanna do training for it as i got enugh casj to servive hopfully for 2 months so i need to find a quick training course

also got other ideas going on in me head but i need a decent career that i can fall back on if i go another route

dont wanna go back to this position again tbh and i wont get a management job/decent retail job now as i wont get a reference off the manager as i sort of had a moment of regret with him

actually i dont regret it as i felt soooo much better, just got to find a job before me flat get reposesed

 

what bout working in a childrens home, i can be very hard work with all there different behaviour but at the same time rewarding to see a change in them

but then not always you will be able to help them

ive worked with kids aged 11/17 for after 6 years now and 3 of that being a manager of the home and do enjoy my job.

but at time very stressful

 

how do i get into it

im being serious as thats what interests me , can i take a loan and do a course to allow me to get into it as a trainee asap

 

My mate worked for a Children's Home called The Children's Trust in Tadworth or there's the Opheus Trust which was set up by Richard Stilgoe. It's homes for children with severe disabilities. It has totally changed my friend and she found it so rewarding that she has quit Uni to go down that route. The good thing about it is you can work there whilst getting qualifications. I think you might have to go to college 1 day a week or something but at the end of the day you will get a qualification out of it and be earning at the same time. Reading your previous posts I think you'll find that you can't actually get a qualification (like you want) in 2 months, it's not that simple and it's the wrong time of year too, sorry.

Good luck tho!!

 

at moment you dont need the nvq to start but you have got to show that you are willing to do it, as this will be law soon

apply to all childrens home around by you. as a career or residantal social worker same thing really but they will police check you first to make sure you ok to work with kids

 

the pther thing is the age though, is there a max age ya can be to join em ???


just wondering as im 26 now , cant do any apprenticeship of any kind due to me age

but im gonna try it

 

you got be older than 21 at some place's to work

but your age is ok never to old to start in there, and i know most places not alot of males work in there

 

ginge working with kids.....



























there goes this country's future

 

yeah work with kids then i can supply stereos ect

claim im heloing em but what i do is train em what there actually worth and how to get em out properly

 

they think they know better than you bout cars thou thats the thing

when you tell them different they dont like it

 

ill just nod and say neons are cool

bribe em with max power magazine ect

 

ginge u aint gonna help anyone with that english or grammar mate

the kids will prob teach you how to spell

 

im not gona teach em puntuation, just teach what to do and what not to do

 

i reckon they fooked either way
