      Do not apply to work here

      Pros

      Nice onboarding process. Other than that, no pros during my time at Healios.

      Cons

      I left a very good job to come work for Healios and 6 weeks into my role at Healios they made me redundant. Healios will collapse. It is NOT sustainable. DO NOT apply for a job here. I give it a year before the company folds. Healios have not make a profit in the 10 years of operating. You’d think for a company within the mental health sector you’d get some sort of empathy and compassion whilst being made redundant, I received none. I felt incredibly isolated and alone during my time at Healios with no regard to my wellbeing. The poor treatment I’ve received has severely effected my mental health and for a company that has no regard or compassion it’s actually quite dangerous. The lack of transparency and internal communication is pathetic. Management do not care.

      Great mission ruined by incompetent leadership

      Anonymous employee

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Really meaningful company mission and really great people to work with on the ground.

      Cons

      At its core, the really powerful mission is being completely eroded by a completely incompetent and apathetic leadership team. Both in the way they have handled the companies finances over the years, to the goals they set, it’s clear they have no idea how to create and enact a strategic vision. And at the top, you have the most soulless, most delusional CEO I have ever come across. The best way to truly judge a company is when things do get a little rocky, do they stick to their values; do they continue to be empathetic towards their employees. With the most recent restructure, it’s abundantly clear that Healios doesn’t. If I were leading an NHS Trust, I would run a mile from Healios. As should any prospective employee. Avoid.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Other companies are recruiting for CYP therapists so I’m looking forward to new positions available to me. The new clinical director seems very open and approachable to talk to, genuinely wants to know what needs to change at a clinician level.

      Cons

      I’ll ignore the fact that they told us ‘not to worry’ during the quiet period and ‘there’s no concern’ before the sudden redundancies. There’s no direction here. They’re moving towards a neurodevelopmental service and away from mental health as that’s where the money is now, never mind the needs of young people. The remaining staff are all expecting the next wave of redundancies to arrive, fear often fuelled by sudden meetings or Q&As with inconclusive answers (or indeed no shows). The manager of the MH team leads is toxic, doesn’t respond to concerns and seems to evaporate into thin air when she has to deal with anything. At this stage I am wondering whether she is real or just a mythical being.
