Pros
Hardworking co-workers, some of the most talented physiotherapists I know
Cons
Terrible treatment of staff. Lots of bullying and gaslighting from management. As an example: on multiple occasions pesters staff after hours to go to work when unwell and overwrites the NHS guidelines demanding proof from GP for any sick days when self-certification is 5 days - which wastes NHS resources. This is a company that works with vulnerable patients both in their own homes, care homes and in hospitals. This is a serious breach of patient safety especially when it comes to Covid, flu, measles, D&V and other infectious diseases Practices in hiring (Some) staff are borderline modern-day slavery: 1. hires immigrants or young graduates and 2. uses scare tactics and keeps the staff overworked to avoid questions arising. This way the staff is unwilling or unable to get legal help due to time constraints or visa constraints (working inconsistent hours and frequently changing shifts). Belittling staff and making us feel incompetent in our diagnosis and treatment abilities including giving us homework and tests beyond our paid hours as in-house CPD sometimes even banning us from CPD sessions because we did not complete our homework. I had to put one star which is generous because I couldn't rate this 0/5, I have worked at some great places and toxic places but this place takes the cake.
