I work at a care home, ive only been there 7 weeks now, to be honest it seems all over the place, unhappy staff, recently my boss decided to add an extra 12 hours on to my Rota without asking, she said it would even out over the month, not sure how as she increased all my weeks, so over Christmas she had me down to work 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th all nights so basically I wasn't going to see my four kids much at all, I asked for it changed and my hours put back to what they should be, it took four times of mithering until she eventually changed it back to my usual hours, so it meant I only had Christmas day and boxing day nights I was fine with this as it put me back to my 24 hours however on boxing day morning before shift change I was told there would be only two staff on that night, myself and another girl, we need at least three as there are two units, there are several people who need two to lift got in that night and they had thankfully got agency but it meant me and this other girl had to run the home, medication was given before they left we just had to give pain relief if needed but it just doesn't seem right that two of us who had only been there a couple of weeks had the responsibility of a care home with no senior for advice, thankfully we got through the night and everyone was ok but are there any rules on this?
