Work Culture

Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Leamington Spa - 6 June 2023

Don’t care about staff welfare when I was there.Job was back breaking and no support from management. Team leaders were very horrible with discriminatory attitude . Team work was always a problem with some forming their own group of friends and family. A lot of pretence. Hopefully they have improved now.

Pros

Pay was fair, nice care home that I would have to loved to stay with.

Cons

Not supportive, letting good people leave without finding out the real reasons. Makes me feel bad.

Hard working staff and nurses.

Good place to work

Head Chef (Current Employee) - Birmingham, West Midlands - 25 May 2023

Great company to work for, if you invest in them they will invest in you! You get out what you put in. If you don’t want to work hard don’t choose to work in the care industry. The company does recognise hard work and good work, you do get rewarded free meals, vouchers as a Christmas present, employee of the month award. Regional employee of the month, care uk awards, training course to develop in your role and progression within the company. As I said you get out what you put in. If you have a strong work ethic and a can do attitude you will and can go far. You must be willing to try to make a difference and go the extra mile it will get noticed.

Soul destroying

Senior Nurse (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 22 May 2023

I can’t begin to describe how undervalued I felt Junior nurses with only 2 years or less clinical experience promoted to senior positions. Experienced nurses propping them up. Dangerous culture overall. Turnover of staff ridiculous

Pros

Zero

Jobs at Care UK

Opportunity for development but no management support

Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Reading, Berkshire - 22 May 2023

Working in Care UK can be rewarding but also distressing. There are many opportunities for self-development. Free food all day for all staff members. There is also short staff all the time and no management support.

Great work environment

Health Advisor (Former Employee) - Southall, Greater London - 19 May 2023

Ok place to work, the people you work with makes it a great environment but the pay is not the best and they don't value their employees that much. I worked there for 3 years

Compassionate and caring always a smiling staff member to great people

Housekeeping Manager (Current Employee) - Sidcup - 2 May 2023

I love the care home and residents. Staff have come along way working through the Covid pandemic was tough. Not just for the staff but the residents also not being able to see their family and loved ones had a big impact on their well-being. Staff took on the role engaging more with residents to boost their morale. The staff pulled together as a team and management also helped. I would say it made us as a team at Smythlodge really show what team work is all about.

Bullying

Operating Theater Housekeeper (Former Employee) - Plymouth, Devon - 30 April 2023

If you do things the wrong way and quickly so you can sit down and do nothing for the rest of the night and dont actually work then this is the place for you. Also if you like being part of a click which i didn't then you are singled out and up for all sorts of horrible stuff that is done against you .
