Pros

Helpful and friendly work mates. Getting to know service users and work together to make improvements. Chance to gain a qualification.

Cons

Made unwelcome by management. Critical and doctrinal controlling behaviour. Treated staff unfairly and unevenly. Lack of empathy for staff and an unwillingness to support collective constructive feedback from employees. Inability to self-examine and take responsibility for their behaviour.

Thank you for reviewing your time at Perthyn. We agree that one of the best parts of the job is getting to know the people we support. We are proud of the many career progression opportunities we have, both operationally and within our corporate roles, so it is disappointing that you believe this was a negative for you. Our management team often work hands on shifts and can resolve any concerns regarding staff capability and attitude. We ensure that no individuals are neglected and pride ourselves on the support we provide to individuals. We are disappointed that you did not have a positive experience with the management team but we do provide our managers with comprehensive training, qualifications, ongoing support and HR advice. We are unable to comment on individual salaries but, in line with National Living Wage increases, we have been able to increase the salary pay scales for a number of positions. We are also proud of our growth over the last few years, especially in Carmarthenshire which is one of our biggest regions. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your concerns further as we appreciate and value the opinions of our current and former employees.

Thank you for your review. We agree that one of the best parts about working for Perthyn are the people we support and fellow colleagues. Our management team are provided with comprehensive training and ongoing support and advice from the HR and the senior management teams. It is disappointing to read that you have had a negative experience but we have a robust grievance process that can be followed informally and formally. We offer monthly supervisions to new members of staff as well as quarterly supervisions to employees who have passed their probationary period. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your concerns further as we appreciate and value the opinions of our current and former employees.
