Pros
Great flexible working patterns for care workers. “Contract for services” for care workers - good if you want a stop gap between jobs.
Kontras
Higher management are related or in a relationship, this makes it very difficult to seek support. Poor salaries for coordinators. This is an exceptionally stressful role and it is not valued enough. Totally unapproachable and very cold area managers. If your face fits you’re fine, otherwise you’ll be dismissed for “performance” issues however you will not have had supervisions or performance meetings prior to this. I saw this happen to three members of staff. Very bizarre culture, no one feels safe in their job as people are sacked without warning and everyone else knows before the person being sacked. I have worked in more than one branch and have seen multiple staff have breakdowns due to the stress of this company. Too few Carers, too little support, too little thanks for it.
