Pros

Excellent terms of employment such as DBS fee covered, free uniform, welcome bonus, six month bonus, help with revalidation, good training.

Cons

I think it's not right that sanctuary care has taken away paid breaks meaning staff have to go from 37.5 hours per week to 39 hours per week to be paid the same money.

Thanks for the review and thanks for your feedback around our terms. We’re currently consulting with staff regarding a review of terms due to the multiple sets of terms that we are currently operating. Our intention is to operate a fair set of equitable terms for all staff, one of which includes the proposed removal of paid breaks as not all staff currently benefit from this entitlement, with staff being offered the opportunity to increase their contractual hours if they wish to do so. We’re also very sorry to learn that you don’t feel supported in your role, and as you’re a current employee would encourage you to discuss this with your local HR Business Partner as soon as possible.

Pros

None. Don’t work here and save your sanity.

Cons

If you have a strong personality and can stand up for yourself you won’t last here. The management get other staff to watch your every move and report back. The whole company is a shambles and just try to smooth things over instead of sorting any problems.
