Thanks for your review and feedback, which we will certainly take on board. Regarding flexible working, we would encourage you to apply for this via the ‘Flexible working’ application form on Solis, and if you have any queries around it, your line manager or our HR team will be able to advise you. If you have anything else you’d like to discuss, please either have a chat with your line manager or get in touch with your HR Business Partner.

Pros

Salary and annual leave higher than other housing associations

Cons

The higer the management are the more unprofessional they are. They bully staff on a daily basis and make constant threats. If you have a disability don't bother working here as they will try to get rid of you and make you feel inadequate compared to everyone else.

Within our HR team, HR Business Partners operate across the country to support staff and managers with any HR issues. When staff have concerns, they are encouraged to raise these in a timely way with their manager or senior manager, Staff Council rep or HR Business Partner if more suitable. As a current employee, we would encourage you to speak to use one of these options to discuss your concerns and see how we can assist as soon as possible. If you don’t feel able to speak to someone within the organisation, Health Assured have a confidential advice and support line for staff. We hope you feel able to get in touch.

Thank you for your feedback, however we are very concerned to hear of the less positive comments in this review and the experiences that you’ve had. At Sanctuary Group we take all feedback seriously and value the effort our employees go to to provide it. We are passionate about the values which form the foundations of our business and strive to ensure all employees operate according to these values, at all times. On occasions it may be felt that a colleague has not met these standards and as you would expect, we have a full suite of policies and procedures to address these concerns, which include our Grievance Policy, and our Bullying and Harassment policy. You can rest assured that all of our managers are required to attend mandatory management specific training courses. We would welcome the opportunity to meet or chat with you as a current member of staff, to further understand your concerns and to turn things around for you. We would recommend that you gain support from Human Resources or from local or national Staff Council representatives as soon as possible.
