Hi there, I have a query for ye.. my brother has been working in the HSE as a care assistant for the last 11 years.. has been off sick for the last 13 mths due to a medical reasons... early retirement on medical grounds is something he is considering - but he's only 47.. feels he could work in other jobs perhaps in the future but no longer as a care assistant in a hospital - not fit (GP agrees - has yet to ask Cons).. and has been under a lot of stress in the job over the years so wants out..
HR are slow to provide info..
Qs:
1. is it retiring from his current role or saying that he is retiring period? as in, never work again?
2. His understanding so far is that he can never work in the HSE again - not even in admin - anyone know if this is correct?
3. Could he get a job in a different field - privately? (In a job that he would be able for ie: not as energy draining/stressful as his current job)
He is not so much worried about the money side of things at this point he says - just wants to know what the lay of the land is - so he can make the best decision for him.. he's only 47 - would like to be able to work again in some capacity, without this being held against him.
TIA
