Progression and support from management

RMN Staff Nurse (Current Employee) - Brighouse - 16 May 2021

Throughout my time at Cygnet Lodge Brighouse I have been supported by management in all aspects of my role. There is excellent progression within all roles, there is excellent support for nurses to progress as well as support workers, furthering their career. I have also felt supported and felt I can access support during difficult times. I feel as though I can approach managers and my line managers whenever I need to. Training is always offered aswell as CPD.

Pros

Free lunches, supportive management, progression in all roles

Cons

Long hours

a company who do not care about staff / service users

staff nurse (Former Employee) - North East - 11 December 2020

start of the day at handover, feel worried as lots of staff i didnt know, next shift the same. Bank staff who need our regular staff to look after them...shocking. staffing level concerns ignored for years, not really interested never addressed.Number of service users high, also a danger to each other.unanounced CQC Inspections, we knew within weeks they were coming !! within the company many staff made redundant (i know one came back from holiday to find out). also i have seen lots of injuries to staff, not safe. Now i will get official STANDARD reply that they want to put it right lol.

Pros

nice staff, my manager

Cons

long hours, one way loyalty, poor staffing, money making comes first, poor pay

Team and Environment

Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - Sevenoaks, Kent - 3 May 2020

Chaotic,disorganised, and not particularly friendly. The staff employed are often those with extraordinarily little to no experienced taken on by those already working at the facility. This is true of agency healthcare assistant - some may never have worked in such environment but is more often taken on because of who they know. You are left very much to do a lot by yourself with those who are supposed to support having very little themselves to no experience in dealing with a crisis and is often finding excuses to do something else leaving you to carry the burden if mistakes are made. The most enjoyable part of the job is when it is time to leave the premises, when you have finally finished certain aspect of the work that those scream at you, putting pressure on you to do the things that they themselves can do when it should be a shared experience.

Pros

Free lunch, either for the lunch time or evening, not twice a day when on duty.

Cons

You don't exactly use the skills you begin the job with, and you never finish work on time.

Productive

Staff nurse (Former Employee) - Bradford, West Yorkshire - 8 September 2019

As a nurse my job was to delegate tasks to support workers and ensure my shift was run correctly. I worked on a ward with 10 patients with learning dishabilles. I produced care plans and risk assessments and attended MDT meetings in regards to the care of the individuals. Very rewarding job.

Pros

free lunches

Cons

long hours

Great Place to work

Staff Nurse (Current Employee) - Ealing, Greater London - 28 July 2018

I have worked for the past twelve months. I have enjoyed working here. My colleagues are friendly and supportive. Patient care is held paramount. I have had specialist training to enhance my skills. The management are visible and supportive of staff and patients. They take patients views seriously and act on any issues raise by patients or staff. As a specialist unit there is so much training. Staff are encouraged to be transparent and lessons are learnt when things go wrong. I feel safe working here.

Pros

Specialist training, good staff moral, team work. Prioritizing patients care.

Cons

Long hours.

Rewarding place to work, good team, MDT and management.

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Bury, Greater Manchester - 8 April 2017

The hospital has a diverse patient and staff group. For a nurse like me, there is an opportunity to work in other specialist areas such as Deaf services or CAMHS. I find most staff hard working and professional. There are a few staff who are always complaining and seem really unhappy. Not sure why anyone would stay if they hated the place so much. Unfortunately it's these people who end up affecting morale negatively. But I am only interested in my patients and doing a good job. My manager and MDT have been supportive since I started. We have just had a good CQC inspection, which is evidence of a good hospital. I find my role rewarding and look forward to continuing workin here.

Pros

Caring and rewarding work environment

Cons

Limited parking space.
