Retrain hospitality workers

Yes, I would love to be some use. I was a nurse and a lecturer in further education decades ago. Many mature students I met were the sort of capable people, home helps and the like, who would be great after a brief retraining.

I can't imagine many people queuing-up to retrain as a carer - can't say I blame them. Would you like to be a carer at this time?

Retraining involves time doesn’t it and something more immediate is perhaps more helpful, such as the Co-op when they took on, I think, 30,000 temporary staff from the hospitality sector.

There are still number of retired nurses like me who are waiting to be called. I may not be up to date with ITU but I still know how to keep a patient clean comfortable, fed and watered and comforted.

I would guess that most of them would not be interested in this type of work.
