Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Bleep, I have been shocked and distressed to read this. Have you been to the Salvation Army? They offer practical support to those who are homeless, or threatened with being so. Their citadel in Hastings is in St Andrews Square, with the postcode TN34 1SP. Their phone no is 01424 426894. Their work in Hastings is led by Captain Rebecca Zund (rebecca.zund@salvationarmy.org.uk) Even if they have nothing to offer immediately in Hastings, they would probably have other contacts, perhaps including some you have not thought of. I hope and pray that this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the answer is too personal just ignore CV is too NHS Sub-serviant very little proof of management, too little proof of teaching with a certificate.

The NHS also has its own agency where I live. I don't know if they have there? If you need further details you can PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Am I missing something here? You get £ 1290? National minimum wage is £1395. So you could do a bit of nationally important fruit picking and have an extra £100 a month My OAP pension after 42 years of contribution is £580 ( Add on my wife's pension and our COMBINED pension is £170 less than yours I WORKED for 57 years and counting (covid permitting) often had 2 jobs which meant I paid 2 stamps. I must have signed the wrong form when I got my national insurance number. Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 4 hours ago, Johnoco said: Thinking about this again, so what if your CV is full of NHS work? Unless you’re actually trying for a job in that area, all you have to do is class it as continuous employment. ie ‘I worked in the NHS for 30 years but I’m now looking for a new challenge’ or something like that. Having a lot of experience in one field needn’t hold you back, it shows you could hold down a job. It wouldn’t matter a bit if you were going for a job in Sainsbury’s for instance, whether you had worked as a brain surgeon or had been a bottle washer all your life, employment history is just an example of what you’ve *done*, not what you can’t do in future. If I could get a job as a bottle washer, I would take it. But they are being offered to students, as are all menial jobs. Job opportunities/openings for Under 25's, & Stuff the over 55's, they can rot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of BS can go a long way when needs must. I am adapt at BS, I could probably lecture at University in BS, I have blogged & bs'ed into great events. Have you seen anyone be pitch side at an international with a video club card? Or run through a bunch of pro photographers & take one of Blair as he is on his knees, only to lose his phone on the way home?
