Absolutely awful - Anonymous employee Bluebird Care Employee Review

Office staff are absolute bullies-they pile work on you and you're not allowed to hand it back. Get incredibly angry if you refuse the work and they put it on your rota anyway. Only get paid for the call but spend most of your time driving (20p per mile) induction was a lull into a false sense of security-they make you believe they're wonderful but once you actually start working for them they give you up to 18 clients per day with no breaks in between. Don't give you holiday pay if you ask for holiday-you instead get it as unauthorised leave and don't get a penny. Change rotas last minute. You work 12 days before getting 2 days off but they beg you to work on those 2 precious days and get really funny with you if you refuse to work. If you quit the job they charge you £100. See for yourself - it's the most stressful job I've ever had the displeasure of doing. Zero hour contract too.
