Pros

Competitive pay for Support worker role. Company benefits. Supported by the organisation through the good and the bad. Recognised for your good work. Supported if you make a mistake. Senior management always make genuine efforts to get to know everyone. Heavily empowers and drives change for people who are supported within the organisation.

Cons

Pay for managers could be better as this has not increased in line with recent pay rises.

Pros

Enjoy my job as a support worker at Nortnmead. Short breaks alongside my colleagues and managers Kirsy and Charile are very supportive, Nortmead as a staff diverse team Diverse team generating ideas and more substantial problem solving, people we support have different needs requires individualized approaches I'm fortunate I love my job as support worker at Northmead

Cons

Eleaning at times can be hard for me as I have dyslexia and also working every other weekend now that I'm ananny to 8 grandchildren

Thank you so much for your lovely 5-star review and for your continued dedication over the past 10 years – that’s an incredible commitment! We’re so glad to hear that you feel supported by Kirsty, Charlie, and your colleagues, and that the team’s diversity contributes to creative thinking and strong problem-solving. It’s also heartening to hear how much you enjoy working with the people we support and tailoring your care to meet their individual needs. Thank you also for your honest feedback about eLearning – we know it can be challenging, especially when juggling family responsibilities. We’d really encourage you to share any accessibility feedback while completing the courses – there’s usually a chance at the end of each module to rate or comment, or you can email the Learning and Development team directly. Your feedback helps us improve the experience for everyone. Thank you again for everything you do – we're lucky to have you as part of the team!
