I have been working at Priory Group full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
- Good career progression if management at site level supportive, which mine when I started were thankfully
- Senior management team made a lot of improvements to the running of the company in a lot of ways in recent years, from Craegmoor to Priory Adult Care
- Satellite services good; HR, admin support etc
- Employee benefits good
- Good governance procedures in place, they have a document for everything
- As a company, always trying to find ways to make improvements and lessons learnt which is reassuring
- Learnt an extensive amount over time I’ve worked in 3 different services from support worker to registered manager in 4 years
- The tasks/roles you are required to do as a manager make you far better as a manager
Cons
- Estates budget needs attention, there are still a lot of services that are in need of extensive refurbs, sends a message that doesn’t align with company values
- Support worker wage not as competitive as it should be across the division, would be a far better investment for the company and improve efficiencies to increase wage/get a better candidate profile that is more competitive
Advice to Management
Not too many complaints, the company, mainly Priory Adult Care, is going in the right direction, have a lot of time for the leadership team in general. Would say it just seems obvious to reduce agency across the company, increase the wage and have a better quality candidate profile, reduces inefficiencies such as sickness, HR issues and everything else if better quality candidates were available, such a better investment surely?

Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Priory Group (Darlington, North East England, England) in August 2019.
Interview
Applied online, received a call a couple of weeks later asking why I was interested in the job and if i could come in for an interview. The interview involved a quick introduction about Priory Group and the hospital and a talk about the main responsibilities of a Mental Healthcare Assistant. There was then a group task followed by an individual interview. There also involved a short literacy test.
