Sounds like a care worker to me.

Care workers bring gloves and aprons, hand gel etc (in bulk) home? What about the stationery?

Let a courier come to you

When it was Interlink it use to give a fiver off to first time customers once the system recognised first time on site.

Or just store everything away until asked, you'd be surprised some companies don't and never get round to asking. Solves logistic and money issue until/unless it's actually being demanded.

(I'd worked for a few companies that would have access changed/set new policy immediately after person has left etc) why would they want stuff back they may very well have to bin anyway so you could suggest destroyment to them.

If the job isn't office based (presumably visiting clients/patients in their own homes) it makes sense to bring stuff home in sufficient bulk to minimise trips to the office/depot/whatever to replenish. In this case, the "stuff" is anything and everything needed to do the job. Which would include forms, paperwork etc.

Care record forms, use a bit of imagination.

The OP also said he always travelled to work by bus, so this collection must have taken quite some time to accumulate. As for "care record forms", why would the OP have such (even blank) in his personal possession?

I'm not going to speculate, my question was aimed solely at the OP.

I suggested that earlier, but after six months off work (presumably on SSP) cash might be an issue.

Bus in and drop it off?

Not that difficult is it?

The OP (which you quoted) answered that point. Whether it's true or not is another matter, but it's pretty clear.

Not at all. See below

I have always had to catch the bus whenever I have had to visit the office.

Yes when they visit office.That's not daily travel to work.

They obviously work daily in the community, hence the supplies at home.

Many care workers work that way.

Going around in circles now.. Only the OP can state categorically his situation, anything else is just speculation on our part.

As I said earlier, the Op is legally responsible for the return of all equipment and uniform etc he has borrowed. However, if he doesn't want to (or can't) return it , the likely result is that the employer will simply write it all off and the OP will be left to dispose of it himself. I doubt the employer would use legal means to have it returned, but that option is available.

I doubt very much that packaging and leaving it all in the porch will galvanise the employer into arranging or paying for it's collection.
