So, I’ve done my first shift at the hospital and absolutely loved it! We now know what I can and can’t do and my role description is being adjusted accordingly lol, including adding in additional duties. Usually, no one can start until they’ve gone through the induction but as the local training day won’t be until the new year, and given I’ve done this job before, they’re going to try to get me in as soon as my DBS clearance is through.

Knackered now though, but it’s a good knackered

[Jaquaia]

That's brilliant! They're lucky to have you!

I always thought DBS was Direct Broadcast Satellite system you can tell I'm electronically biased.

Congrats Paula glad all went well on your first shift

[Paula]

Lol Mike . DBS is the Disclosure and Barring Service, it’s checks made by the Government to ensure people working with vulnerable people don’t have any history that precludes them for those jobs.

The powers that be have agreed that, as long as I do the induction within 6 months of starting, I can start once my DBS check and references come through. So, the plan is I start on 26th October

[Jaquaia]

Didn't the DBS check replace the CRB check?

[Paula]

It did indeed

[Suzi]

That's fantastic! I'm so thrilled for you!

[Paula]

Had a great day at the hospital yesterday, Polo is improving and it’s movie night on Strictly tonight! Definitely feeling a bit more positive today than I have in a while

[OldMike]

[Flo]
