- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
-Work is available to those who want the hours. -Flexible around commitments as many services operate 24/7. -The work is challenging due to complex needs service users but at least each day is different. The friendly teams of staff you work with day in day out will make learning the job and also the long days easier. -They have one of the most extensive career development pathways in the industry if you are willing to pursue it.
Cons
-As with the wider privatised healthcare/adult care industry employee benefit/conditions have been reduced to the legal minimum. No sick pay other than SSP, no rising with years of service annual leave, no hourly enhancements for Nightshift, weekends. or overtime. Some services give temporary uplifts for example £1 an hour in times of desperate need but this is rare. In the organisations defence it should be noted the reduced benefits is an industry wide problem directly resulting from post 2010 government spending cuts to NHS and Local Councils, as this is where most revenue comes from. -Linked to the first point, some long standing staff are on older contracts and have sick pay entitlement, rising holiday entitlement, and uplifts for Nightshifts, weekends and overtime. While I would never want them stripped of this It is important to note the effect it has on staff morale among the growing proportion of newer staff who do not have these benefits. In effect we are doing the exact same job for less.

Lovely work colleagues, but poor management & atrocious salary given the demands of the job
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I was very lucky to have great, supportive colleagues.
Cons
- Pay not reflective of the demands of the job - Unpaid break - The manager was not a people person whatsoever - ironic considering she was one of the therapists there! She was very cold, and quite robotic when you expressed concerns to her- she had an answer for everything, and they seemed very scripted. She was also not respectful of work boundaries, occasionally asking staff to cover dietetic/therapy sessions - outrageous considering we are not trained for that, and neither is our pay reflective of having to do that kind of work! Even more shocking was that we were made to feel stupid if we asked a question on how to approach these cover sessions - as though it were common sense.

- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great flexibility on bank as there are always hours available. Doesn't feel like work a lot of the time. Learn to understand non verbal communication. Can be interesting to work with people on the autism spectrum as they see life so differently. Night shifts can be very relaxed and are able to do your own thing.
Cons
Next to no career development possibilities. Very poor management structure. Never seems to be clear who is in charge and there is very little communication between staff. Cliques form frequently due to nepotism. Very high staff turnover, even amongst the managers. Terrible pay for the amount of responsibility you have. Frequent mistakes in payslips. No oversight or training which leads to confusion, disagreements, inconsistently and potentially mistreatment of service users.

- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Absolutely none. Even the free food (that they use as a ploy to lure you into their den) is disgusting slop! Might be slightly higher pay than NHS but oh boy, there's a reason! Believe me, its so not worth it!
Cons
If you value your PIN, sanity, and mental health, then DO NOT step foot in this dangerous hell hole! Referring to the Arnold Priory but I'm in no doubt that they're all soul-sapping torture chambers! This is coming from a very strong and resilient person.....its truly beyond awful! I've never known anything quite like it; completely unreal and untenable. It baffles me how the Priory are allowed to operate! I could kick myself that I went against advice and decided to work here. They paint a beautiful picture of what it is like to work there- but you'll soon realise that it is a complete lie and that you made a BIG mistake.....
