Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust Employee Review

Would recommend for place of care, but not for work

Admin (Current Employee) - Corporate - 26 September 2022

Little to no job progression. Managers can be two faced and happily make comments about other staff when they are not present, which can leave you feeling uncomfortable. Overworked comes to mind but also given more/extra work that was is deemed in your job role with no pay review and just expected to do it. Often left feeling burnt out and miserable. High turnover of staff, often feel you get the brunt of it when a team member leaves. Role is good if you are just looking for a role to bring home money up until retirement. Do not see it as a long term/permanent role.Also only good for job security (little risk of you losing your job) and the pension/NHS discounts a bonus. Otherwise, 1 star review in all areas.

Pros

Job security, NHS pension, NHS Discounts

Cons

Management, no flexibility, not keeping to their word, overworked and underpaid, no progression

Awful management that push staff to their absolute limits, all issues are brushed under the carpet. Staff turnover is ridiculously high, no work life balance, no support. Wouldn’t recommend to work or be treated by southern health

Pros

Some hard working nice staff

Cons

Bad management, bullying, overworked, toxic, nasty

Same role

No thanks!

Admin (Former Employee) - Gosport - 7 April 2019

CEO is focused on new positive changes and is reassuring about those visions. However, the management let the CEO down - Dickensian and Draconian approach with no real cohesive leadership skills. You have to know your place and no opportunities allowed in order to understand the role and the organisation better. Virtually impossible to achieve what should be a 'common goal'.

Pros

Lovely team to work with.

Cons

Management

Support worker (Former Employee) - Abingdon, Oxfordshire - 5 January 2023

A great place to work for in terms of career progression. Great Team support and well managed. I felt listening to and I was treated as a valued member of staff.
