Hello, and thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. It really means a lot, especially from someone who spent a good few years with us. It’s great to hear you saw us as a caring employer that looks after colleagues. That’s something we truly care about, so it’s lovely to see it felt in your day to day. We’re also really pleased you’d recommend us and feel positive about where things are heading. You’re right, the role can be hard work and there are times when hours feel long. We know roles like Service Manager carry a lot, and we keep working on how we support colleagues, from flexible working to wellbeing support when things get busy. Thanks again for taking the time to share such a balanced view. If you'd like to tell us more, you can reach us at recruitment@homegroup.org.uk. We’d love to hear from you.

Hi There, thanks for your 5 star review. While I am so glad you worked with lovely friendly colleagues. I am utterly disheartened to hear about your experience with our resident! As you will likely know, Home Group has set an objective to be an ED&I global exemplar. In late 2021 we launched our "No Home for Hate" charter in collaboration with customers and colleagues. This charter clearly spells out what kind of behaviour is unacceptable with guidelines on what steps to take in regards to reporting and taking action. No one should suffer this kind of treatment anywhere, never mind the workplace and especially not our workplace! Regards Simone

Hello and thank you for leaving us your review. Thanks for sharing your feedback that there is great flexibility at Home Group, good training opportunities and that we are inclusive! This is really important to us! We value each and every colleague for who they are and the contribution that they bring to our customers. We're sorry to hear that you felt your team were short staffed and lacked a clinical lead and ask if you are happy to tell us more, to get in touch at recruitment@homegroup.org.uk. As you know we pay the living wage, whereas many organisations only pay the national minimum wage. We also have an annual pay award, mutual bonus payment, amongst a wide range of other benefits. We have also recently introduced a health cash plan, saving colleagues from £1140 per annum on healthcare costs including dentists, prescriptions, opticians and much more. Many thanks, Susan
