Management failings.

Pros

Funding for courses. Lease car scheme.

Cons

This company protects the interests of management and has little regard for those that do not fall in line even if it's at the detriment of patient care. Like minded people get encouraged to advance their nursing skills and promoted to senior positions. High turn over of staff. Highly skilled staff are leaving. Bullying culture from the top down.

Pros

Staff: The majority of the people I worked with were great people, who only wanted to do the best they could to improve patient care. Most were friendly and happy to help if you needed a hand. Flexible Working: Helps those people with commitments outside work.

Cons

Training: You will be promised training in your 6 month review etc but unless you are lucky and your face fits it will not be forth coming. Budgets, not being able to cover your work etc will be cited. This will continue for a while until you realise other people that are more friendly with certain people get training opportunities. Salary: Low and NHS banded. They will always attempt to pay the lowest amount they can for your skills but expect you to bend over backwards for them. Its a case of NHS when it suits them, private company when it suits them. Management: Poor, most are lifers, left over from when Provide was part of the NHS. This is because they could never command the same salary in the private sector given their skills and thus never leave. The vast majority lack not only management skills but the technical skills to allow them to understand the jobs of the people they manage. They also seem to lack any drive to actually make things better. However, if you can enter the inner circle of managers (friends) that run Provide you are set. You will need to spend time out of hours/weekends drinking and socialising with them. Career Progression: Promotions are based on popularity and time served. Ability and ambition are not considered important. Moral Compass: If you have one, best leave it at home.
