StephenFord Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I do like my new 'chimney'! The original, barely 30 years old, was weathered that badly is was a danger with every passing storm. When the contractor suggested removing it, rather than rebuilding the stack (very expensive!), I was horrified at the suggestion as though I don't use the fire much, I still wanted it functional. He then explained his solution. Great job, now maintenance free, and had some ventilation tiles installed in roof at same time... I'll post the 'crowd funding' link soon LOL 聽 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I'm happy to say I started my new and first job in my local hospital. Nothing special just a healthcare support worker in A&E.聽 Currently on a break as the manager didn't get any heads up about me starting so waiting till 9am for HR opens.聽 Hopefully if it works out I do 3 days a week here and try and do 2 days a week in the mortgage broker. Will be happy with that as I'll be doing both things. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just feel that sadly there being no trainee posts for the scientist career I wanted to get into it's a big steer in career however this hospital have apprenticeship programs in a lot of stuff so could try that out later to help me progress somewhere. I have my eye on the pharmacy apprenticeship. They also had dietician, radiographer and management Apprenticeship programs. This post I have is an apprenticeship. Most people in my post go into nursing which I'm not too keen on. 聽 It's 37.5 hours work a week and will be doing 12.5 hour shifts. That means I'll only come in 3 days a week and have the rest of the week off to study. Might work weekends for the overtime pay plus it'll give me days in the week to go to the mortgage broker.聽 Hopefully it works out I go to both places getting expect from them and work my way up in both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Eric, you are right there about opportunities like I found about the apprenticeship programs this hospital does. I'm happy at least hopefully I can start my career training as a mortgage advisor on the side whilst working and progressing in the hospital 馃榿 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
