How many hours do the carers work?
A nurse/carer will work a 16 hour day with breaks not included, however when including breaks the care worker will work between 11-13 hours per day. The number of hours worked is determined by the service user. We have three levels of breaks 3,4 or 5 hours, these will form part of the 16-hour day. The service user will decide the length of break required during the initial assessment. When the nurse/care worker is not required to work, he/she is entitled to rest and sleep and engage in other normal activates of their own life.
