Crazy mismanaged
Left to your own devices most of the time and no one really cares what the service users are doing so even though activities are planned they don’t want to be involved and are left just watching tv
Pros
Free dinner
Cons
Long hours no respect
Avoid
What can I say ? Ask you to work all the time . No work life family life balance . Doesn’t listen to what staff have to say put jobs on you last minute expecting you to travel from one side of Blackburn to darwen at the blink of an eye . Management do not stand up for staff . Medication errors constantly and covered up by management . No official training just basic knowledge what you pick up off staff . Short staffed constantly . They really need to strip the whole company back and start again as it’s either managers way or no way . I’d definitely not recommend.
Poor
Terrible pay, terrible hours. Zero work life balance even for working mothers. Zero compassion for staff. This place actually caused mental health issues in numerous staff and little to no support. Senior positions given to those who are barely adults themselves so it becomes a power trip for them all. Do not recommend
Pros
Meals parking service users
Cons
Everything
Power mad oligarchy
What an absolute mess of a company, they have a lot of policies and procedures in place which means even the most stupid of people can work there, that doesn’t stop the countless errors that are made by the incompetent staff, the management their are abhorrent too, they do not care about the staff and actively make the staff do their work for them and sit in the office doing nothing. The majority of ARD’s are power hungry jobsworths and I’m pretty confident one of them is sleeping with one of the homes managers.
Pros
Staff and service users
Cons
Management
You best choice is to leave now
Is turning into a corporate company with no interest in the frontline staff. Building new homes and leaving the old to rot. Low staffing levels, senior management a joke. You only get promoted if your loud, brash and stamp on others to get to the top
