The average salary for care support workers in the UK varies depending on factors such as location, experience, and qualifications. The range typically falls between £16,000 to £25,000 per year.
To work in the UK as a care support worker or healthcare assistant, there are certain requirements you must meet. These may include completing relevant training courses, obtaining certifications such as the Care Certificate, and passing background checks.

Can I use UK CV format for Ireland health care assistant

[@littlesithinilifeinireland3637]

I always say put your best foot forward from the beginning and have the format required by each country an employer may be forgiving if you are applying from abroad but you will be competing with candidates with the correct Cv format so it’s best to just have the correct one

Why is your salary lower compared to the previous video of your paycheck reveal as a health care assistant?

[@littlesithinilifeinireland3637]

Hi hun thank you for stopping by , the hourly rate it’s self was definitely higher, you may have noticed in that video I revealed 2 Payslips ,1 with before emergency tax and one after emergency tax,hence may seem slightly higher but it was just because of the tax period , that is why I revealed 2 , and explained the tax situation 😊,hope this makes sense.
