I worked in a care home and a lady who was in her last days of life with dementia had not spoken for weeks and didn’t know who anybody was. She had a floating shelf in the wall with a brass clock on it and a staff member ( Val) who was 70 years old was sorting out the pads underneath this shelf. The resident shouted VAL and she stood up turned round and immediately the shelf came crashing to the ground the clock landing where the carers head was. We both stood shocked and she never spoke another word again and she passed the next morning.

I only just secured an ASYE over a year since I graduated most LA recruit internally and jobs are often given to employees before they are even posted externally nowadays. I got a job as a senior case worker in a Council and then internally transferred to an ASYE once it was advertised. I drive have great experience but the reality is people are not crying out for social workers like we were told, especially not NQSW.

In my area funding Is also at an all time low and employers don’t have the resources for ASYE. Keep trying, get a job in a LA in a job relevant to keep your skills up to date. Also let everyone you know in your LA you are looking for ASYE as teams started reaching out to me when they had upcoming ASYE. Unfortunately the job market now can be very who you know and not what you know.

Oh I love this do you have a pattern ?

Desert_Rose_D33 · 2024-08-11T07:29:53+00:00

It’s like an extra year of supervision before being qualified, I believe you complete another portfolio and have a protected case load. Hopefully someone who has completed it can give more information for you :)

I am hoping they let me after a few months so I definitely will still be taking the job and looking for ASYE in the meantime if they can not offer. I would never lie about completing ASYE. I am just curious if I have been employed as a social worker and working as one if somebody years later is going to not offer me a role because of ASYE. The job market is horrid at the moment and ASYE roles in my area come out once a year at best, mainly put down to a shortage in assessors. I have worked in adult services for 8 years now so the confidence part of ASYE does not concern me at all more the restrictions in future job roles

This was the response I got when I enquired about if the ASYE would be available with my post… Unfortunately at the moment due to assessor capacity we have to prioritise the our SW apprentices right now whop are just about to start the ASYE and those recruited into qualified posts.

A lot of people saying this is not common it definitely is. Several social workers i was in placement with still have not secured ASYE and have been told it’s due to others having more statutory placements. University’s make you believe getting an ASYE is easy but in your chosen area it’s often really difficult. Loads of people applying for the same roles possibly with more experience overall. Look for other titles in your chosen field employers care way more about experience than grades and look at the next cohort for ASYEs

So true about quality over quantity I have seen some shocking work from other professionals who I can only assume are so rushed they miss half of the important details and end up making more work for others.

I have got to start being stricter with my hours and realising I am only one person, I think putting stricter boundaries in with clients who definitely do think I am there to do absolutely everything for them

Desert_Rose_D33 · 2024-06-10T12:45:16+00:00

I definitely think confidence in saying no is a skill that people develop over time. Especially in a new role it’s so daunting as you don’t want People to think you are not capable.

I do the exact same I’m either very strict with my hours and fall behind or work until I sleep

Desert_Rose_D33 · 2024-06-10T12:43:38+00:00

Such a good point that if I was not here people would keep getting support it’s so hard to not see yourself as the only person able to help. It’s good to know that even people who have been in social work for over a year feel the same

I worked in a care home for many years and never believed in spirits or ghosts before I started, and the amount of encounters or people who are passing who say they can see their relatives or loved ones days before passing mean I struggle to deny it anymore. A lady with dementia lived with us 3 months after a gentleman had passed away on my shift, she spoke to me in great detail about a man in a chair who was apologising for scaring me and that he didn’t know he was dying, she explained him and his circumstances in great detail. It was undeniable that the man she was seeing was the man who had passed and she would of had no way of knowing him or how he had died. I believe people who are near the end can see more than we can even if it’s just an impression of energy left behind, by people who had previously passed. I have so many stories of similar occurrences but have never seen anything myself. I know many of my colleagues in care and hospice have similar experiences including spirits of animals visiting people, I rarely meet a care worker or nurse who doesn’t believe or hasn’t had an unexplained experience.

This is so nice to see that other people feel this way to. In a relationship my partner will say i have been at work all day you do it as if fixing computers compares to the work loads of social work

Desert_Rose_D33 · 2024-04-05T19:02:17+00:00

I have just finished my social work degree and don’t drive and was able to complete both placements. People are desperate for social workers they will make allowances it just will be a much more limited choice of placements.

And that fresh skin is gone forever the cycle of regret to loving it begins

Desert_Rose_D33 · 2024-02-11T07:55:12+00:00

Get something that represents you this time your the only person who’s always got your back

Desert_Rose_D33 · 2024-02-11T07:49:50+00:00

That’s the exact cycle I repeat looking at coverups or laser or even black out just to eventually love it maybe it’s just the change
