Supportive clients, but management and culture are lacking
Pros
Some staff are great. The clients were great. Support work can be very rewarding.
Cons
UBU is a dreadful company to work for. They expect you to donate your life to them. Staff meetings on your day off, have to attend 90% across the year! E-learning in your own time, this is mandatory not self development courses. Threatened with having your contracted hours cut if you fall behind. Then after spending hours completing them another 40 drop into your profile! Only pay rises are if the government raise minimum wage. Staff are not valued at all. Rota changes without much notice. Very little opportunity for enablers to progress a career in care unless you're prepared to sacrifice your home life. Management are not beyond being untruthful to discredit staff to save their own inadequacies. Asst. Manager is a job title only, zero responsibilities even when the manager is on leave (4/5 weeks per year) because other managers take the reins! Only marked as 1 star because no stars not an option.
