Great team to be part of, making a difference every day
CareGiver (Current Employee) - Farnham, Surrey - 5 December 2021
Featured review
Right at Home GF selected this as a representative reviewI love going to work, making a genuine difference to the clients we support puts a smile on my face every day. The support and training I have had since day one has been excellent. There are lots of extra benefits, occasional gifts, team socials where we can meet other team members, a discount card and a prize draw each month for people who pick up extra work.
Pros
The feeling of making a difference

Top class, caring company
Live in carer (Former Employee) - Guildford and Farnham - 16 November 2023
For a live-in carer on the whole the management and office staff are friendly and supportive. I would recommend working for Right at Home. Live- in is rarely easy but is often rewarding. The managment are supportive of clients needs and the staff
Pros
Live in carers are allocated money for food excluding luxuries
Cons
The hours vary, depending on the clients needs and personal organisational skills, 10 hours can be longer but the management are supportive

Great place to work and lots of opp
Coordinator (Current Employee) - Office based - 7 December 2022
I started two years ago as a Caregiver and progressed to a senior Caregiver. My lifestyle changed and the job was able to change with it. I was lucky enough to get a position as a coordinator, using my knowledge of the area, clients and the Caregivers. The company is supportive and flexible, working with me to get a great home work life balance.
Pros
Flexibility

Fantastic team and great family feel.
Care Assistant (Current Employee) - Guildford, Surrey - 25 May 2022
Fantastic company to work for, feel supported from day one, there is always a friendly voice at the end of the phone, making the role less isolating, senior carers make regular contact. Team organises monthly team socials and this is a great way to build relationships with your colleagues and supervisors.

Every day is a rewarding day!
Caregiver (Current Employee) - Farnham, Surrey - 17 May 2022
From the moment I started with RAH GF, there was plenty of support on hand either from your designated senior carer, manager and/or the HR/office teams. Flexibility attracted me to this role but more importantly I have been encouraged by the company to be myself, to gel with all my clients and to see that making a difference is truly amazing. I get up in the morning and look forward to going to work. Thank you RAH GF for believing in me.

Overall a good place to work
Carer Assistant (Current Employee) - Farnham, Surrey - 16 May 2022
Good company overall, yes slight issues as mentioned in other reviews but what company doesn't have issues?? If you expect to only work 9-5pm then expect to only have work at lunch time because realistically, clients need care first thing in the morning, at lunch, at dinner time and after 7pm for bed assistance. Those who comment that they didn't get hours...it's likely they weren't available to work during the most popular times so what do they expect? Good pay in line with most care agencies, yes holiday is accrued into a 'pot' which you don't 'apply for', you can take out in any monthly pay slip to pay you during annual leave or you can save it until the end of the year and take it all at once! Training is very thorough and regular. Carers work well together, managers are very supportive and take issues to the directors. Pay is based on care experience so jobs will advertise from lowest level to highest. Opportunity to do health and social care diplomas. Due to the nature of the care industry, it is unpredictable in nature with clients passing away or going into nursing homes so you need to be prepared for that but if you are a true carer by nature, the job satisfaction from seeing the joy on your clients faces and the happiness they share with you when having a good visit far outweighs any issues you may have with anything. We have regular team meetings, team socials with a senior carer, company events such as an annual carer/client BBQ, a monthly prize draw for those who pick up extra care calls including big cash prizes! Over the time I've worked for them they've given -

Care Manager (Current Employee) - Farnham, Surrey - 16 May 2022
Great team to be part of, you feel supported all the way throughout, from the first phone call to your first shift and beyond. Flexible shifts with the possibility to pick extras if needed, the team is really helpful and all come together to help each other. There is always someone at the end of the phone to support you with anything at all, it feels like a big family. On top of it all, we can make a huge difference in peoples lives and feel valued and appreciated. Definitely recommend anyone joining the team.

Decent people to work for
XX (Current Employee) - Farnham, Surrey - 10 May 2022
I've worked here for 3 years now and they do things properly here. Unlike the 2 previous home care companies I worked for, Right at Home GF are sincere and respectful of their staff and clients. Also they treat the staff like they are very valued, they have set up a committee to listen to views of the staff and I have seen them make changes to improve things. I like the 1 hour minimum visit too, sometimes it's longer, so you aren't rushing too much. The recruitment and training was particularly good, and the training is more thorough than where I worked before. Decent rates of pay too.
Pros
Respectful culture, supportive office people, good training.
Cons
Sometimes asked to cover visits at short notice, but I think this is the nature of the type of work we do.

Good clients, poor management
Carer (Current Employee) - Farnham, Surrey - 13 December 2021
The client and the client's family are really nice to work with and very understanding, but the management is poor, there are too many nonsense demandings. The management doesn't make any effort to understand the employees.
Pros
None
Cons
Poor management

30 December 2021Hi, I am so sorry to hear your experience with RaH has not been 5* and would like the opportunity to talk this through with you. We have also just put together the Homecare Advisory Group, this is 8 Caregivers who will meet with the leadership team to discuss future plans and give carers a voice and to help bridge the gap between carers and management. If you would like more information about this then please do contact Liz. Thank you for taking the time to feedback!

Look elsewhere
Care Assistant (Current Employee) - Farnham, Surrey - 12 September 2021
What can I say, completely agree with a review below, 2* is a stretch. Everything they promise you at the interview it's just to draw you in. There's not enough hours or clients. They are not flexible despite of what they are advertising. Management not fit to make decisions, and office staff are not supportive or interested. Stay clear
Pros
none
Cons
not flexible, not enough hours
