      The actual position

      Senior therapeutic practitioner
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Mostly supported by management if things go to plan., Good working atmosphere with most colleagues. Good location

      Cons

      Short staffed all over the company. Using staff from other homes and agency staff to cover shifts who don`t know the clients making it sometimes dangerous to work. Certain Managers are not "people managers" and should learn to be more compassionate when things go wrong which are beyond the staffs control. Expected to put job before everything else. Constant calls at home regarding things that staff cant find etc.There can be lots of sickness due to the conditions at work when things are difficult due to young people miss-behaving.

      SHOCKING !

      Facilities coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Freedom to do the right thing

      Cons

      Make one mistake and they close ranks to cover up their own misgivings ! - Private Legal proceedings against them are pending based on defamation and clear lies which have stopped me from getting a job elsewhere in the same capacity.
