Not always happy with the job - Carer Assistant A1 Quality Homecare Employee Review

Pros

I like working with my regular clients as this allows me to get to know them and their routines so that I work effectively with them. I like when my rota is not changed as this gives me piece of mind.

Cons

I do not feel that I am paid enough either for the job I do or for petrol as this has gone up so much in the last month. I do not like it when I go from client to client with no time between them but am supposed to give them all the time on my rota. This also does not give me time to have a break - a cup of tea, drink of water or an apple - sitting in my car. This means that I work from 7am to 2pm or beyond with no breaks. I get angry at night carers who do not do their job properly so I end up having to do their work in my time e.g. wash up evening plates etc. I put this on the log but rarely see a change.

Pros

I love seeing my regular clients and meeting new clients, we encouraged to treat others how we would wish to be treated. Management are a phone call away. My line manger Lender supports me and is flexible if needed. Julie is my assessor, she is very thorough and never makes you feel like you are on your own, she supports chasing up GP's, medication etc and is always there for support. Progression and promotions are offered in house before advertising which is a great opportunity for carer growth :)

Cons

No cons for me personally

Pros

easy to access, on-site parking

Cons

I applied for a part-time job here and there is quite a detailed and time-consuming questionnaire which must be completed. I put in a lot of effort and submitted it but after delay I received a message from 'Millee' saying I had been unsuccessful for a different job (one which I was not at all qualified to apply for) so I wrote back and pointed out I had applied for a completely different job (one which I was over-qualified for) but I never received a reply. So if you apply for a cleaning job don't be surprised if you get a rejection to be the new CEO!!
