Hi @bourkem, and welcome!
Being a healthcare assistant sounds like it would be tough for anybody, let alone for somebody struggling with mobility issues. Have you discussed reasonable adjustments with your employer? Scope have some information on the legalities of reasonable adjustments, and also the access to work scheme, which may be worth looking over. Employers have an obligation to support their employees, so it would definitely be worth pursuing.
Let us know how you get on!0 -

Hi @Bourkem,
I am sorry to hear you are struggling with your physical health and workload.
It is admirable you have worked so hard at work and to support your mother.
There are many services available to assist people in your position.
What sort of support did you have in mind? Were you thinking about financial assistance or help from a carer?
Kind regards,
Donisha0
