Stacey takes our five teens to a care home for work experience.

Stacey takes our five teens to a care home on the coast for work experience.

Stacey Dooley takes five 16-18-year-olds into different industries crying out for young workers for the ultimate work experience.

This episode sees Stacey take five teenagers for work experience in a care home on the Somerset coast. The privately owned care home is in Weston-super-Mare, a retirement hotspot where a fifth of the population is over 65. With 400,000 people living in care homes across the country, it’s a sector looking for young workers in a variety of roles to help with an increasingly ageing population. 

How will Elliott, Skye, Abbey, Hakeem and Mersadi cope with tending to the needs of the home’s 30 residents, who are aged up to 107 years old? At the end of each day, Stacey rewards those who do well in cash with the national apprenticeship wage of £3.70 and at night she provides the teens with caravan accommodation. Living together becomes a bit of a struggle as those with cash from their shifts in the restaurant have to chip in for those who haven’t been paid the full rate so far.

Care home managers Claire and Shari are looking for energy, enthusiasm, patience and empathy from the teens and the five will be involved in every aspect of care during their time there. As well as serving meals, cleaning rooms and taking part in the social activities put on for the residents, they are encouraged to bond with individual residents and make new friends. Surprising relationships blossom between young and old as they each look for common experiences and pastimes, which go beyond any age differences between them.
