Pros

I can say that the nurses and carers here are the best in the country. True loving kind people. If your relatives are here, I can honestly say I have only ever seen tender, loving compassion and care. Don't worry, we love your relatives and value them above anything in the world. Nearest and dearest relatives. Please improve the care of your precious relation by saying how you appreciate the input of a carer or nurse. Please make a point of telling our managers when you find kindness in the carers and nurses. They always get to hear of complaints but sadly, they almost never hear praise for us. Unfortunately, they only speak to us when there is a complaint, never to praise.

Cons

I have worked here for over 2 years. I totally fail to star- rate this company because in over 35 years of nursing as an RMN, RNLD, it is the worst company I have ever worked for in all my life. I just can not give it one star. Home managers and deputies are some of the most incompetent psychopaths who were ever misfits in healthcare. Unprofessional management who threaten you with your job to back up their requests for relentless demands including their cartoonish e-learning - the off line activities are the most degrading. You get a "you can be suspended letter" with a pile of time-consuming, child-like exercises you have to complete, engaging your line manager as a superior (mummy) to authenticate you (child) as a healthcare professional. HC-One - GROW UP! A playground for management BULLIES! They, well.. they love bullying. It makes them feel less inadequate.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. I really appreciated hearing your positive experiences about the nurses and carers you work with, but I was really sorry to learn about your concerns. We do work very hard to make every home a great place to work for colleagues. Your hard work, and the work of your colleagues, makes a great difference to lives of the Residents we support. We are making a lot of positive progress and in our most recent annual independent staff survey, nearly 85% of colleagues who participated were ‘satisfied or very satisfied with their role and working for HC-One’. A similar number felt well supported by their manager. However, feedback from colleagues who are unhappy with parts of their job is also incredibly important to us, and we take this very seriously. While I understand you might not want to discuss your concerns directly with the manager, please do contact the regional HR or Operations teams, who are there to help. You can also contact the Chairman directly via askchai@hc-one.co.uk. I do hope you will get in touch so we can work with you to respond to your concerns. Alison

Pros

Great PTO! Good place to get experience as a new graduate.

Cons

Poor work /life balance due to lots of uncompensated hours required to maintain productivity. Double booking of clients by schedulers with no say so. pr rather than primary focus of agency is on productivity. Also, Electronic Health Record becomes a crutch (too many check boxes) and you will lose your diagnostic skills and writing skills here. Also, supervision is not free here.
