Career
progression:
We are not viewed as professionals in our areas of
expertise. Despite having the qualifications and the
experience. When promotion opportunities arise it is
usually the professional staff in social care for
example nursing who are successful despite, as above,
our qualifications and expertise. It is quite demoralizing.
Especially for long term staff who are dedicated and
loyal to social care.
Hard to progress. Done 3 higher education courses -
BSc, MSc & diploma but still only getting jobs that pay
less that £25,000.
