Ex employee

Carer (Former Employee) - Kingswinford - 10 May 2021

New Bradley hall has suffered bad management and unfair treatment of its staff for the last 4 years and high level of turn over due to this. If you enjoy good mental health do not ruin it by taking a post here.No help from management when problems arise and a serious blame culture is in place here when things go wrong. Manager treats staff as disposable and know several fires at the drop of a hat through no fault of their own to cover up faults of others.

Pros

Fair salary for a care job

Cons

No job security. Mistreated. Understaffed for levels of care required

Not all it seems

Dementia Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Halesowen - 11 December 2019

Overall A very below average company who overate their work ethics! Over streched workload under staffed & continuos high agency useage. Salary is fair which is appealling but you sure have your work cut out so be mindful as not all as it seems! Have a dangerous HIGH turn over of Management & staff in the last few years which is major red flags for any considering applicants. I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND THIS COMPANY AS A EMPLOYER.anyone
