workers will gain valuable experience but don't expect support from management - Person Centred Support Worker Community Living Options (Australia) Employee Review

When working for CLO it is made clear to support workers that you are a pawn they can move around to sites without consultation. Unbelievably poor management and consultation procedures for staff that directly affect their lives, income and family. Are more focused on completing required NDIS paperwork/procedures than delivering person centred support. Will continuously place casuals with clients that have anxiety over meeting new people or working with particular genders, then permanent support workers are left to clean up the emotional mess. Coordinators are stretched too thin and do not have adequate time for client related matters. They often work well beyond their allocated hours without pay. Training and professional development is poor. Training for a particular subject is a 2-3 hour affair read of a powerpoint by unqualified people to talk on each matter. Professional development paperwork occurs just so they can tick a box saying it was done. If you are planning to work passive shifts please consider other companies that pay you much better for your time.
