Ideal Carehomes Careers and Employment

This company actually had 50/50 reviews and I see why. There is no job security and they will get rid of you for reasons that aren’t just. They fire young people here for no reason, Knowing situations before hiring them. Full of people who gossip and talk behind your back, if you aren’t gossiping with them rest assured it will be about you. At first I was having a good experience and enjoyed working here but as time went on true colours were shown. This job has 0 work life balance if you have things going on. If you have 0 responsibilities then maybe consider working here. They expect you to pick up their slack or work 5 days a week sometimes even though it’s 3 on 3 off. You will be expected to complete other job roles if they’re short of staff which they always are because no one wants to work there anymore. It says residential home but it feels like nursing home culture. I’m not sure how the other homes are this is just Blakelands specifically.

Terrible Company

Terrible Company Terrible management, Deputies don’t like helping when short staffed, which is most of the time! No confidentiality Manager does what is best for himself and expects staff to do what he wants without asking! If you get upset he does not support you !

Worked for the company for 12 months and that was long enoughWorking 12 hour shifts and still getting called on your day off because of having not the qualified staff A lot of gossiping and taking back staff after they have put formal complaints in and taking them back with higher positions. Couldn’t trust no body

Management need communication training how to speak with their staff respectfully

No leadership skills , to much gossiping , rushing about at a fast pace to get work tasks completed , no direction given , staff over worked management does not have adequate staffing levels in place , staff are expected to complete work load when staffing levels are low , staff constantly complaining with the work load no management shows any listening skills towards staff .
