- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good company wages could be better
Cons
Poor hours 12 hour shifts mostly for day and night staff
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The service users are amazing and my colleagues too amdit broke my heart to leave them!
Cons
Management is absolutely appaling, thinks it's impossible to find worse! They don't recognise your work, after a while you are expected to do more, have so much more responsibility for the same money. Staff issues dismissed. So many outstanding staff i saw leaving because management was so incompetent. They don't motivate or do any effort to keep the good permanent staff. Very bad! Very disappointing!

- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The service users in Stockport are wonderful. I managed a couple of really hard working and committed staff. Had a fantastic, supportive registered manager for the majority of time I worked there (then didn't). You get to learn a great deal about yourself working in such a short staffed and chaotic environment. Good training opportunities if you ask for them.
Cons
The most ridiculous expectations of senior staff I've ever experienced, literally unbelievable. The staff directly line managing services (at least the majority of them) are so busy trying to cover the massive amount of staff vacancies with bank and agency workers that they struggle to have time to support and develop the few contracted support workers they do have.

Pros
You can get a lot of experience, as you will have to be jack of all trades. The management make you do as much work as possible, including some of their jobs
Cons
The higher the manager, the nastier. Only interested in keeping the contract. Penny pinching. Won't hire agency staff to cover staff shortages. Can't attract any new staff no matter keep the old ones. Pay is often wrong. Managers are thick, and think that support workers are beneath them
