Why we need you to take a job as a carer

There will be no-one to care for people in their own homes, the elderly the vulnerable and those who can’t care for themselves.

If care in the community can’t care for people at home, people can’t be discharged from hospital.

If people can’t be discharged from hospital, people can’t be admitted to hospital as there will be no beds.

If people can’t be admitted to hospital they will be left in ambulances, hospital corridors and waiting rooms.

Their health and well-being will suffer.
