Low morale
Health Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Looe - 25 May 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedMore support from management needed. Work colleagues are friendly. Many complaints from staff about the running of the home. Cannot give enough quality time to residents. The home is becoming agency dependant.
Pros
Free lunch available
Cons
Finding time to have your free lunch

Avoid
HCA (Former Employee) - Tywardreath, Cornwall - 8 June 2021
I worked for Cornwallis for 2 years. Staff amazing and exhausted. Never any staff. No incentives. Some staff are too friendly with the CEO. Unprofessional. Don't work here even if you are desperate
Pros
Friendly staff

Long hours, unappreciated

Avoid this company at all costs
Housekeeping Assistant (Former Employee) - Par, Cornwall - 2 December 2020
Constantly short staffed, overworked with no appreciation, disciplined from being exhausted by the workload. Bullied by my manager and other team members are given extra benefits if they are the 'favourites'. Isolated by my team members by instruction of the manager. Tried to rectify this in a professional manner and was sworn at. When going to the company director they appeared to care but didn't do anything about it.Much happier and healthier after finding a nice, fair company to work for.
Pros
Lovely residents
Cons
Management are incapable of their job

Money Orientated
Employee (Current Employee) - St. Austell, Cornwall - 29 November 2020
Short staffed majority of the time. Not given the resources and staffing levels to look after Residents. Residents neglected when the company is receiving over £1000 per week to care for them. Managing Director is a control freak who does not let the Home Managers manage their Homes. If your face does not fit or you have an oppinion you are victimised.

Avoid Much better companys to work for.
Health Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Cornwall - 16 August 2020
Do not work for cornwallis, always messing pay up, no benefits for working with them, some staff and management are just awful and shouldn't be working in or running homes ! No care for staff whatsoever, just all round real bad experience given so much time to this company for absolutely nothing in return. Run the staff they have got to the bone, always short staffed. So stressful! Avoid.
Pros
Contract
Cons
Everything!

Jobs at Cornwallis Care Services
Awful company
Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Callington, Cornwall - 6 April 2020
Absolutely disgusting company to work for. Staff are clicky and completely ignore you with absolutely no support. Only get noticed when you make a slight mistake and no praise or recognition of a good job being done. Managers very friendly with Seniors so more breaks are given to those they are friends. If the manager doesn’t seem to like you after a few weeks they sack you with pathetic excuses.

Institutionalised bullying
Prefer (Former Employee) - Callington, Cornwall - 27 February 2020
There was a culture of institutionalised bullying. The Manager was weak, the Deputy was a safeguarding risk with residents and her behaviour actively encouraged the bullying culture. The Area Manager was aware and chose not to act.
Pros
The wages were above minimum wage
Cons
The job culture was toxic

Abusive and not enough guidance or training.
Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Trecarrol - 22 February 2020
From the start, two days shadowing hardly existed. Expected to be full hands on from the start.
No site tour of the home regardless of where the fire exits were. No introduction to residents or their needs without learning the tablet system which no one seemed willing to show me. Then deliberately given the most challageing residents and mocked for not being able to cope.
The old current staff are out for themselves and only work as a team when against new employees, definitely not for the good of the home.
They were terribly understaffed and the current staff overall were lazy and would pass the buck quite readily to get out of the not so desirable jobs. I was lucky to sit down for 15 minuets over a 12 hour shift.
The residents were great the manager was great also ..... yet lack of management in the evenings allowed standards to slip. Not a pleasant place to work and soon felt un-wanted and dreaded going in after a short period of time. I thought I was employed as a care assistant and soon found out an awful lot of domestic cleaning was involved.I certainly wasn't told I'd be cleaning the kitchens 4 times a week, doing laundry or the lounges? Which was fine but I could of become a cleaner anywhere for the same money and without all the responsibilities of caring for people. Not what I signed up for!

Such a fantastic company to work for!
Deputy Manager (Current Employee) - St Ives, Cornwall - 21 February 2020
The team within this home are fantastic. Everybody supports each other and you can feel the love and care as soon as you walk in. I have been so well supported since arriving here and can’t rate my manager highly enough, she has taught me so much already and she works incredibly hard to achieve all that she can for her residents and her team. The pay rates are fantastic throughout the home and staff are valued and respected. Everybody within the home put so much effort into ensuring that the residents lead person centred, fulfilling and exciting lives and Team Trewidden continue to strive to achieve the best.

Excellent teams throughout the home
Senior HCA (Current Employee) - St Ives, Cornwall - 20 February 2020
I've found my experience with Trewidden very fulfilling professionally and personally.
Lots of training opportunities and for personal development.
The pay rate is very competitive for the industry.
Handovers are well structured and informative and held within the senior office in the afternoon and evenings. The care team taking pride in supporting all individuals with care and dignity at all times.
I've found the team work throughout the departments within the home very fulfilling they all get on well and work together for the benefit of the home well.

I enjoy working at Trewidden
Care Coordinator (Current Employee) - St Ives, Cornwall - 20 February 2020
I have worked at Trewidden for a few months as a care coordinator and I wouldn’t look back. I had a warm welcome from the staff and I was made to feel part of the team straight away. The care that is provided to the service users is excellent and they are always the main focus and priority. Management are easy to approach and they deal with issues that arise very promptly.
