From helping... to hiring

Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Monday, 12 May 2025 - 56 minutes

Last month, Afternoons met Jessica, a new mum who leapt into action to help her 'agency' cleaner, after discovering she - and her colleagues - had been denied healthcare, visas and access to their passports.

Having worked with Dubai Police to get the team's documents returned to them, Jessica set about helping them with their CVs to find them better employment - but as she explains to Helen today, she ended up hiring them instead.

Plus, lawyer Dilini Loku joins us for an employment clinic, Dr Bisi Laniyan explains why stress is not a flex, we talk mole mapping for kids with dermatologist Dr Parul Thakur, and Haus & Haus' Harrison Rackham Beadle is on hand to handle your property questions.
