Poor home manager and burnt out carers
Went for an interview for bank staff at hambleton grange in thirsk and was told I could work around university and that I could work hours to suit me. Came in for training and the home manager was awful, rude and didn’t seem to have a clue how to run a care home, although she definitely would come first in a ‘spinning around on your chair’ competition. Her deputy managers were running round like headless chickens with the carers running around trying to help them too meanwhile no offer of help from the home manager. The staffing levels were appalling, the home managers attitude towards me and another trainee was shocking threatening us with dismissal before we even began as we asked if we could start at 7:30 instead of 7. I offered her 4 days I could work earlys and she wouldn’t allow me these days and said I had to work the 3 days I said I couldn’t do. HR were shocking and didn’t help one bit, safe to say I will never go back and I would certainly never advise someone to put their loved one in that home. Appalling for a care home. HC1 are taking over it currently and it seems no better and again there HR is appalling too.
