Very poor organisation and management
Pros
I personally can not see any pros to working for this organisation.
Cons
- Very poor training. You are sat in a room for a week learning and then expected to go straight out in to the field and know what you're doing. This is fine if you have past experience but if you are new to domiciliary care, it can be very challenging. - Very poor wage for the work you are doing - minimum wage just doesn't cut it. - Expenses paid in to wage so you are taxed and NI on it (meaning you are not receiving back the full amount you payed out for expenses). - They insist you go in to the office on a particular day every week, which as a part time staff member who only worked weekends would be very inconvenient trying to get there on a week day. - Lone working and no support from management / supervisers when you're out in the field. - They do not give you enough travel time between calls, meaning you often run late, resulting in finishing an hour later than you were supposed to without getting payed for it. - You only get paid for the calls that you do as opposed to the hours you work. This means if you have a 2 hour gap between calls you are not getting paid for it.
