Hello and welcome to the community @lisathomas50

I'm glad you've found us.

I'm sorry to hear that you had coronavirus earlier this year. I hope that you're feeling better now?

You mentioned needing some help finding a suitable job. Scope actually have a Support to Work service, which you might like to look into. They're a really lovely team, and they can help you to find and apply for suitable employment.

I wish I had a camper van! Where's the best place you've been in it?

Thank you for your reply Lisa. It's lovely to get to know you a little. You've certainly had a year worst than most, but it's great you are such a positive person, which has doubtless helped.

Please do consider Scope's 'Support to Work' programme, which has helped many. There's also some info about looking for work from Scope: https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/work-careers/looking-for-work/ in the meanwhile. Please do let us know how you get on, thank you.

I have done that I am expecting an assessment phone call I already spoke to somebody about help to get me back into work do that I don't get it erong and mess it up I have done a few jobs over the years but mainly care

Great @lisathomas50

You'll have to keep us updated on how you get on.

Caring is such a noble profession I reckon, but very hard work I imagine.

Lisatho11987777

I worked as a care for e0 years gull time long hours hard work but rewarding but my health has deteriorated now so I want a change in job snd only want to work part time now

Hi Lisa, Hey come out in your camper it's awesome!. I live near Cardiff. I left my old house in March to live in a camper and then moved back in July to sell mine and buy a better one - Now I live full time in a much better Motorhome on the outskirts of Newport. But I love the life!
