You’re meaningless and they staff will let you know it.
Personal Support Worker (PSW) in London:
Pros: I love the patients and the job itself. The workload is wonderful compared to working in long term care.
Cons: I work every weekend, barely any weekdays and they think this is ok. Holidays? What’s that?? As a part time employee I’ve worked every statutory holiday since starting at LHSC. It’s a very corporate place to work, and massive.. they have so many employees they will straight up tell you they can’t accommodate you.. no matter how many years you work there, they don’t care and you won’t feel valued at all. More recently they hired all new psw’s that work between campuses and are taking all the hours from more senior psw’s that are working in unit’s. They changed the contracts to accommodate these changes. You can either stay where you are happily in a unit where you know who you’re working with and where to find your supply rooms, get only 45 hours biweekly, or you can go to resource and work between 2 different hospital campus’ among a hundred different shifts not knowing where you’re going even the night before the shift begins but you’ll get the 75 hours bi-weekly you need to get by. Great job lhsc.
