Veronica Vorobet learned about caring in her home country of Romania by nursing her grandparents. In2013, after their deaths, she moved to England to find a job using the freedom provided by EU （European Union） membership.
Vorobet, 36, is one of a quarter of a million care workers who are not UK citizens, arising percentage of whom have come from the EU in recent years. They have become an essential part of a low-paid workforce that is constantly understaffed （人手不足的）, with about 120,000unoccupied positions.
Yesterday, she expressed disappointment with the announcement that there would be no special treatment for carers coming into the UK after Brexit—British exit from the EU.
“I want to see people treated the way I want to be treated and to make a difference in people’s lives, making a feeling of home for everyone,” she told the Guardian. “The foreign workers are important in this. They are able to work under a lot of stress and long hours. In my country we are very close to our elderly people and that is what we show here. We try to be close to them and respect their wishes. ”
She said her approach was to treat residents as if they were her own grandparents and provide similar levels of “support and love”. When she arrived in the UK, Vorobet started as a junior care worker on minimum wage in a home for older people in Petersfield, Hampshire. Seven years on and having studied for an NVQ in health and social care, she is a deputy care manager at St Anthony’s residential care home in Watford, part of RMDC are. There she works alongside other Romanian people, and care workers from Indian, Sri Lanka and Kenya.
Her mostrecent trial has been keeping coronavirus out of the home, so far successfully. She said that given the difficulty of taking on care workers, European workers have helped create stability in the workforce. Staff turnover rates in adult social care currently stand at about 30%a year.
“The government should do their research and find out who does these jobs and understand the risk of taking this decision. The risk is that there won’t be enough staff to look after the people in need,” she said.
