Oxford Private Care Work-life balance reviews

I started with Oxford Private Care in 2014 and have never looked back. The office are very supportive and its a friendly, safe, flexible working environment. All training is up to date and are good at refreshing this even throughout Covid, we were supported as much as humanly possible. The rates of pay are very competitive and it would be silly of me to consider any other company within this field. A lot of my colleagues have done this job for many years with Oxford Private Care that is the best future I could ask for. If you need a positive career change this is the best company for it!!!

Pros

Good rate of pay, supportive environment, progressive.

Cons

Long hours, wear and tear on car

Stressful place to work

Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Oxford, Oxfordshire - 6 September 2021

No appreciation from the management for the carers. What should be a 2 person job is given to 1 carer. Long stressful hours with no breaks. If you want your sanity do not work for them.

Pros

Paid on time

Cons

Long hours, poor management. Extremely stressful environment

Awful

Carer (Former Employee) - Oxfordshire - 18 April 2019

I would avoid this place if I was looking for a care job again. No support from the office long hours. Unfriendly most of the time. Constant new staff starting and then leaving. It's even worse in the office.

Cons

Long hours, no support from office staff, terrible.

- visiting a lot of clients every day - I've learned be patient and peacefull - managment are good - co-workes nice - the hardest part of the job are long-days working from 7am to 10 pm ( lunch break 2-3hrs between) - meeting a lot of lovely people, keep a positive realtion with them
