Priory Group Birmingham Reviews

Pros

A good, well-known company with a lot of benefits

Cons

Some sites are better than others due to management

Pros

Shifts are easy to book

Cons

poor management of bank staff

Pros

good staff and great support overall great place to work

Cons

can be an emotional job

Pros

This site is brilliant at recognising what their staff are passionate about and nurturing this by providing CPD opportunities. They offer jobs to internal applicants so you get first dibs on other jobs within the company. The Priory as a whole even offer a relocation package if for any reason you need to move you can take your job with you with support from your employer. I personally love the strong female representation at upper management too! You work bank Holidays which sounds a con, but the hours you miss are added to your AL entitlement so you get 8 extra days than our 9-5 office working counterparts. Oh and you get your birthday off!

Cons

Woodbourne is close to the centre of Birmingham and so rush hour traffic can be frustrating, as can parking on site.

Pros

Free food was given to all members of staff.

Cons

As a recovery worker you would be given all the hard tasks to do. You are also valued less. Some of the staffs were bullies

Pros

Priory was an organisation that looked to the future with a clear strategy. There was also a feeling that the organisation was trying to do the best for patients and employees with limited resources.

Cons

The clear strategy has disappeared and it is all about costs. Despite all the cost cutting it is not clear that this is actually meeting the organisations goals. If considering joining The Priory it is important to be aware that the organisation has a very operational focus (no strategy) and is cutting costs including people with increasing frequency.

Pros

Excellent Progression available in the company. Very good staff benefits, supportive Manager's Excellent training.

Cons

Limited connection with Board of Directors.
