Pros

Amazing end of life care for patients. Compassionate nurses.

Cons

Experienced significant issues with one particular member of the SLT, of whom the rest of the SLT and Trustees seem to fear taking action. This Senior Director micro manages all employees across the various remits they hold responsibility for with little or no regard for their professional qualifications or experience they bring to the charity. Passive aggressive attitude, bad decision making do to a lack of relevant qualifications, experience and understanding within marketing and fundraising. Within 16 months of tenure, there was a 65% voluntary turnover of staff in the IG team. Both managers left within 2 months of each other because neither could bear to work under the current leadership fearing for their mental health and wellbeing. Empire building so avoid at all cost.
