Questions and Answers about MENCAP

Mencap in a word is not a charity their is nothing charitable about Mencap I have worked for better and now work for better long hours split shifts expected hours reduced salary so you have to do extra hours to increase your pay total disregard and bullying from managers I hate everything about Mencap from their ridiculous name to their core values that none of them follow they are disgusting worthless trash of a company that hopefully run not roun and I would be the first one to clap I’d be sorry for the PWS but for the area manager and managers etc I hope they fold

Wrong question. It is a loaded question this one. I would ask, what would you suggest to MENCAP management to stop the wrong types of people from starting at MENCAP?

Easy, get them to do trial shifts, at interview they all say, yes, I would love to do that. Yes I can do that, lets see them really do it before we let them join us.

It is brilliant, lots of news and updates. Great conversation days. Opportunity to get involved in lots of things outside of your day job.

Usually 7 or 14 hour day shifts with no lunch break. If you want to earn more money there is plenty of overtime as they are always struggling to get staff.

No support for managers

Our interview process is centred on our values and expected behaviours. We have a unique model which is called Inclusive Recruitment. The actual process can consist of structured interviews, assessment centres, multiple mini interviews and will involve a colleague(s) or person(s) with a learning disability.
In some instances a completion of a psychometric questionnaire may be required or competency based assessments.

The last working day of the month

Having to argue every month over pay. Don’t be a relief worker as the manger will lie you didn’t work the shifts and cross your name off the rota. Took 4 months to get owed wages.

Expected to do extra but mencap are not willing to pay a overtime rate. They expect you too work weekends at same rate as weekday no shoft prem etc
