Concept Care Solutions Employee Reviews

The days can be very long and the rota is only received on the friday before the monday it begins, not giving time for planning anything such as appointments. Though they do try to accommodate personal preferences in working ours they will invariable give you more than requested. They have a varied clientele and the training is mostly done online. work life balance is more geared towards work but the office do try to support you and change things if you talk to them backing it up with an email.Wages are not enough compared to similar roles with other companies and do not reflect the skills, experience or qualifications of the staff.

Pros

Support given

Cons

Long hours with short notice of hours

An enjoyable, well led team and a great company to work

Community Care Worker (Current Employee) - Basildon, Essex - 8 November 2021

CCS are a great company to work for. Have worked her 2+ years now and have developed from a carer to senior to a supervisor. Have had the opportunity to extend my knowledge and experience in the different roles I've had. It's a great team who all work well together. The management have a good relationship with the carers and vice versa. It is a much better run company and its a pleasure working for them. They provide the best carer possible for the community and cover several different hours. They are accommodating all of people and are acceptive of all different types of people. Previously had a bad manager who has now left but however an amazing care co-ordinator has filled in that gap and has turned it round to be a great atmosphere.

Pros

Training provided, good relationship between managers and carers, great service users, accommodating of all people, flexible hours, PPE provided, progression in career, cover several different hours, accommodating of drivers & walkers, understanding of people who have young children

Cons

Can be long hours, can be stressful, can be asked to cover at short notice

Management

Care Co-ordinator (Former Employee) - Edgware - 28 March 2020

Horrible management, bad organised, no values, don't protect or care for their employee's.

Carer assistant (Former Employee) - Edgware - 17 January 2020

A good company you can see from the firdt dah of your training, if you done this job before. They don't support you with anything, their home care stuff are not prepared for this job,bad coordination, if you are ill and you can't go next day to work they will put you off the of the week or not paying for your job. A carer has to know very well the legislation to protect himself becouse if you are quite they will continue.

Poor management

Digital Marketing Intern (Former Employee) - London - 9 January 2020

Extremely poor management. The company culture should be more ambitious. The day-to-day is busy, I took every day as an opportunity to learn and take my responsibility. The staff should be more trained and supported with resources. The salary is fairly but I only recommend the company for an intern.

Pros

Free food and drink

Cons

management and resources

Horrible manner of recruitment

HCA (Former Employee) - Worthing, West Sussex - 16 October 2019

They do not specify what they need on the job advert when u get a call to join then they start unfolding the surprises first off u have to pay for ur training and then u have to provide immunisation records which they don't tell u their expectations untill u bring the records then they start saying this is low or this has to be done ...infact they should and u pay for ur DBS aswell something that most companies do got their staffs for free.i do not recommend them

Productive and Fun Workplace

Recruitment Consultant (Current Employee) - Edgware, Greater London - 7 October 2019

A great office to work in, time goes by quick. While it does get stressful sometimes usually the work is taken at your own pace and management are very understanding.

Avoid!

Children Support Worker (Former Employee) - London - 5 October 2019

Avoid at all costs, management are rude and unprofessional. You will not be given the amount of hours you wish for. You’re expected to pay £5-10 if you’re on a double up shift to your driver. This job won’t pay for any bills. If you do not drive all your money will go on transport and you will basically be working for free. AVOID AT ALL COST.

Relaxed place

Consultants are very accommodating, colleagues treat each other like family so the office is always lively and we always share interesting conversations. We also get free snacks and drinks every Friday afternoon.

Free drinks on Fridays!

Racism

Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Northampton - 1 October 2019

This in Northampton is just racism... They fire me because just one blind client could not understand two words... Come on if the boss of concept care hired me and other people not native is normal sometimes you have to deal with that and just repeat and I will understand my English is improving every single day. To my other Spanish friend (thanks to ccs I met her also fired her just because that too) The hours are not enough

Don’t waste your time

Area lead (Former Employee) - Edgware - 12 September 2019

They only care about the money they make and don’t consider their employees. You are only valued if you can increase their revenue, even if it means putting all at risk.
