Enjoyable yet strenuous working environment. Must be a strong willed individual willing to lay down your own boundries with the office from day one.

Community Carer (Former Employee) - Darlington - 14 July 2014

I extremely enjoyed my time with SAGA Healthcare as not only did i thoroughly enjoy the work and help i gave in the community but was often rewarded by being told so from families, District Nurses, Rapid Response and also the main office. I was complimented on my professionalism and initiative to think smartly, safely and easily to ensure a comfortable and happy environment for service users in their own homes or even out in the community, whatever task may be that i was carrying out. Sadly when i first started out i took on to much work from the office which was 6 days which were Tuesdays through till Sundays from morning till night. After a while this became un-maintainable as i needed more time to rest as i was becoming exhausted and often unwell with viral infections. When i tried to reduce my working days by one and even the length of my working days by a small amount the office staff were very unsupported and unwilling to let me do so and i felt as though i was made to feel guilty for not taking on the extra work.

Pros

If you wish to enroll and are offered then there are many opportunity to gain qualifications

Cons

long and gappy days
