Rewarding - Carer Maidstone Home Care Employee Review

Nothing that comes to mind

firstly without you are being made aware you are made to pay for any training which gets taken out your pay if you leave. But management said they wouldn't. But I didn't get any training just a link to study in my own hours without pay. And training money taken out of my wages £80 Also the £9 per hour is fictitious they only pay when your with a client. You do not get paid driving to and from customers. Which can account for upto 3_5 hours in any one shift. Which substantially reduce your £9per hour. There are hours when you are out and there will be a 2 hour gap before your next customer. This gap is also unpaid. To earn a living wage expect to work up to 15 hours a day. Many of the staff moaning not happy with the conditions and treatment. I had to wait for my uniform then also docked it out my wages when I even emailed them to say I am returning it. If you are looking to go into care work there are better companies to go to.

Maidstone Home Care Ltd, is a small family run company based in Maidstone, Kent. Unlike larger Care agencies, MHC have managed to accumulate a small team, of highly skilled and Caring staff members, with their motto being, 'We treat our Clients, as we would our own Mum and Dad'. With our recent Care Quality Commission (2017) reflecting this, receiving a 'Good' on every point. Because it is a small team, the level of communication and team efforts are always on top form. With Management being close friends with employees, and are genuinely there to help. The Managers actively work alongside employees, leading, and helping, as opposed to allocating work.
