Money led organisation

How this organisation is outstanding with CQC is beyond me, clinical leads with little or no management experience, staff not listened to and expected to be injured time after time without any safeguarding measures out in place despite staff saying what could have prevented these injuries, this company are purely about filling shifts

Good workplace

Good company to work for, pay good rates. Can be a little unorganised at times which is frustrating. 24/7 phone line for support and if ask for support I find the clinical leads really helpful

Excellent support and rates of pay!

Working in Thornbury allows me to work with conscientious, hardworking professionals, which is great. The rates of pay are excellent too, and I can pick and choose the hours I want.

Good company but not enough communication when packages end

Good company to work for but not enough work near by and no support to find new packages when current packages end. Overall supported when working on packages.

Mixed Bag

The staff you work with are very friendly, helpful and have a vast amount of knowledge. It is a very busy and stressful job, company is part of Acacium group, which means the pay for the amount of work you do is poor compared to other competitors.

Pros

Monday to Friday & friendly staff

Cons

Pay, stressful

Do not rely on steady work or support

6 months through recruitment, picked for certain packages, no support when lone working, very high risk, communication poor, pay doesn’t cover the risk, no job security. Support workers are not listened to, with any criticism from shifts worked, for better support for packages. Poor service for workers, would replace, with no thought of how it would affect workers, no alternative packages to cover within 200 miles from preferred area.

Stressful with little support

No support when really needed. Toxicity was very present between members of staff who wanted to make sure they received work. Communication between members of the office staff is very poor.

Pros

Good salary

Cons

Very stressful

Stress stress and more stress

Not enough team memebers to help deal with the huge workload that’s there. Very little guidance and help from management and they keep bringing in new business despite team memebers not coping with the work we have

Pros

Friendly team memebers

Cons

Very stressful and huge workload

Great rates of pay and very supportive

I really enjoy working for Thornbury they are very supportive and always plenty of shifts available as long as you don’t mind travelling. If you need to cancel a shifts they are fine about it and equally if you can’t pick a shift up that someone else has cancelled they don’t make you feel guilty and equally pleased when you do pick a shift up.

Pros

Good pay rates flexible working

Cons

None

My work experience with TCS so far.

Based on my experience, it is a very systematic and a well established company - that reassures me for working with TCS. From the application and the interview process until the approval to work was very quick and I was given a job right away on the first day. That was very impressive I must say! The pay towards the staff especially if you are a specialist trained is unbelievably high too which compensates very well especially when you travel a little far from your normal day to day travelling. In terms of professional development and improvement, I must say that the bi-annual supervisions were very helpful as in this way you get given the chance to discuss your experiences within the care package and find ways to make it better. My experience towards that was excellent!One of the things that I find however with TCS is the difficulty in joining a new care package especially after the other packages you worked with has ceased. In my last 19 months with TCS, I was given an opportunity to work in several packages near me but unfortunately recently this definitely was not the case. The team seem to have a decline in giving staff ( especially to the "not so regular" ones like me ) another opportunity to join in another package once again. I do understand and took account that due to the pandemic, this probably restricted the allocation of staff to appropriate clients but unfortunately the communications I have had in comparison from when I started TCS regarding work opportunities up to present has definitely diminished. Based on my experience I sometimes find that communication - 

Pros

In terms of pay - so far the best rate in comparison to other companies I have worked.

Cons

In terms of work - there's plenty but it's just too far from where I live.

Supportive place to work - care about your wellbeing

I am so impressed in how the current situation has been handled and the level of support given to staff. It really restores your faith in that there businesses that really do care about your wellbeing. Great team culture also.

Terrible

Absolutely no understanding. Clinical staff can't answer your questions. When they want something like shifts covered you get call after call. The pay is ridiculous for what you go through. Holiday pay is attached to your wage making it look a good hourly wage its not. The current covid situation do not expect support. The hours are not flexible when they use you on a rolling rota. Rules are being broken throughout a very sad case. Staff crossing professional boundaries. There are brilliant companies out there this is one of the most disappointing no contracts no way of moving up. A complete waste of time

Pros

None

Cons

None

Great experience and very rewarding

Great working here, nurse who works with my clients is always there when needed. Office staff are great aswell. If you show constincey you will get more shifts and packages. The pay is really good. Clients are lovely to work for and if you enjoy a challenge where no 2 days are the same then this company is the way forward.

Pros

Good experience, rewarding, good pay, communication is good between management and support workers

Cons

Holiday pay included in salary. No bonuses offered

Competitive and forward thinking for the health care sector

Shift work patterns for the operations team but other teams are core hours. The business is developing all the time in the health care sector. The company also takes part in fund-raising for a charity each year.

Pros

free fruit boxes delivered twice a week, tea and coffee provided

Cons

Personally only the location. Public transport is roughly every 20/ 30 mins
