Allied Healthcare Employer Reviews

day at work shower dress clients make breakfast or lunch assist to toilet if required

did all my MANDATORY training(no NVQ's!) upto starting was promised ability to complete NVQ's(empty Promises).
i started with 50hr weeks, paying in excess of £150p/w in fuel, the office didnt know what they were doing. E.G sending me to clients that had passed away several days earlier.

i was off work due to medical reasons, with the promise my job – more... was still here for me, 4 weeks later i received my p45, i claimed for unfair dismissal, but had to claim for my job back 1st, as you can guess i didn't want to work for these people anymore.

My advice, if you want to be a carer, go to a decent run company, with managers that know what they are doing.

Terrible company! – less

I enjoyed my time at allied and we were all a great team that helped each other.

Very busy from beginning to end. I have gained lots of experience with IT. Hardest part to deal with was the office politics. The most enjoyable part was achieving my goals.

A typical day would be start at 7am and finish at 10pm, with a couple of hours break inbetween.

I was dismissed without any verbal/written warnings due to differences regarding to DUTY OF CARE given to clients.The management took a proft over people approch to the care of vulnerable clients choosing to undermine their feelings and concerns.
As i took the clients DUTY OF CARE as a paramount concern in any care issue and reported all required changes – more... of client circumstanses to the management.I found the lack of cohearent communication and poor follow through proceedures displayed by the management as well as the lack of client confidentiality abhorant.Reporting these issues to head office,I was treated as an outsider within the branch and activly discriminated against.Along with the female bias operated within the organisation I found myself isolated and victimised by feminist egotistical bullies.As an equal opportunities employer they fail to comply with their status and should be closed down as unfit for purpose. – less

learned a lot completed level 5 diploma learnt budgets targets and kpi's and new management and leadership skills

My typical day at work would be caring for the elderly that are vulnerable,I learn about caring for my clients,my management and co-workers are very supportive. The hardest part of my job is when my clients are unwell. The most enjoyable part of my job is helping my clients with the support they need to maintain their health.

Worked for Allied for nearly 7 yrs before going into foster care.
As the foster company i work for is an agency,i am sometimes left with no placements for long periods of time.
Hence the reason i need a more secure position.
I love making a difference,and working with care sectors gives me great satisfaction.

Have not received any work to date only 5 days training which they get a grant for.. not happy!

like my job very much but im a walker so i walk from house to house ive been doing it for a year now and im looking to be in one place.the hardest part of my job is the walking i enjoy everything about my job and the people that i have meet

HELPING ELDERLY AND DISABLED ADULTS WITH PERSONAL CARE, OUTINGS, AND DAILY LIVING.
MY DAILY AIM WHILE AT WORK IS TO ASSIST AND ENHANCE EACH INDIVIDUAL'S DAILY LIFE, WITH COMPASSION AND EMPATHY, ENSURING THEIR WELL-BEING AND SAFETY AT ALL TIMES, WHILST WORKING IN A CONFIDENTIAL PROFESSIONAL
MANNER. I WORK WELL ON MY OWN OR AS A TEAM. I FEEL A VALUED – more... ASSET TO MY CLIENT'S DAILY LIVES.
I HAVE HAD EXPERIANCE WITH CLIENTS WITH CATHETERS AND PEG/ TUBE FED AS WELL AS GIVING MEDICATION.
I REALLY ENJOY MY JOB AND FIND IT REWARDING. THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF MY JOB I FIND AT THE MOMENT IS THE AMOUNT OF DISTANCE I HAVE TO COVER WITH THE LITTLE TIME I AM GIVEN FOR TRAVELING TIME WHILST DOING HOME-CARE. – less

can be stressful but very rewarding, have learnt to communicate on a wide level,the management are always behind u every step of ur work n training,co workers are genuinely good and helpful in all areas..

the most enjoyable part of my job is meetin n workin with diffrernt people..

Its a good place to be based if you want to further you knowledge afield in care . Its been a huge step for me as i have a massive interest in every day life such as people with different conditions such as learning disabilities and so on .

visiting clients daily and attending to there personal care some clients require two carers to deal with lifting and handling so as a team we all get on well i enjoy when the client looks forward to the visit and have a nice smile for me just making sur all meds are correct and been prompted and taken o time

I worked at allied for around a year. Although i enjoyed working with the elderly i did not enjoy the way management treated me! Most days i worked 7am til 10.30pm which i asked to be reduced so many times! They moaned.because i was off with chicken pox! Rotas always messed up, no travelling time inbetween calls which meant i was constantly running – more... late. mileage allowance was rubbish meaning i spent lots of my wages on petrol. Manager was only in her twenties so in my opinion didnt have enough experience of the job. My phone was always ringing, even on my day off!! Awful place to work, highly dis-recommend it. Do not work there!!! – less

My day at work is always great.I get to learn something new with every different customer helping me with my experience in the healthcare field.I have great co-worker,they are flexible & understanding & considerate.Enjoyable part of my is working with the customer.

The job was very repetitive, the staff friendly but kept to themselves.

First thing i did on a typical day would be to go onto the Bespoke system to review the on call notes documented from the previous evening from a team member who was on call and to cover any shifts that were outstanding or had been cancelled whether it would of been from a carer or client.To review emails from Local Council of any updates or changes – more... to a clients Care Package.I learned a lot by using this computer how much information is stored. I was not computer literate, but felt i needed to learn more. Management were helpful but felt when i needed support or was unsure i felt uncomfortable to ask .Unhelpful carers make the job hard because
without fhere help we put pressure on other carers to deliver care . The most enjoyable part of the job is when clients are happy with the service we provide especially when visiting fhem or just speaking to them on the phone , and also completing my tasks for the day. – less

i loved working at allied healthcare, i met some lovely people, i reason i left was due to having my little girl
