Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry that you felt this way about your time at Walsingham Support. We work collaboratively to get the best outcome and welcome feedback from our staff, it is because of this that we are one of the leading national specialist care providers. All staff are paid above minimum wage and our payroll team work hard to ensure each staff member is accurately remunerated at the end of every month, should this rarely not be the case, they swiftly rectify any issues. We value the work of our staff and understand the roles can be demanding, we also have awards and rewards in place to highlight and recognise the dedicated work of our staff teams which are agreed upon at managerial discretion. Our management teams display friendly professionalism in their interactions with team members and work to be as visible as they can. In addition to this, weekly meetings occur to ensure each team member has the opportunity to voice any concerns they may have regarding their work. All staff receive mandatory training prior to their start date at Walsingham Support, it is a shame that you felt the training to be inadequate, but we appreciate the feedback. We appreciate the feedback that you’ve provided. Please email hrheadoffice@walsingham.com if you would like to discuss any of your comments further.

Pros

This is a strong recommendation if you are having little to no IT experience for 1-2 years while you get your feet wet. They do offer an incentive bonus if you are timely for two weeks in a row with the exception of 1 over 7 min start in the whole two weeks. Basically, if you are timely with all shifts and logging into your computer on a ready status they would either pay up to 10 or even 15 percent added to your base salary. By far this was the best incentive and the working from a home schedule that was earned by showing good faith in your working habits and your overall knowledge in your role.

Cons

The part that got me to fold my hand with the company almost immediately was the entire workflow that I was assigned to at the time had developed into taking phone calls for 3 different companies. I have forced off all 3 accounts that I knew well onto 3 new accounts that I knew ZERO about. This was a bit extreme for me to be honest. I really thought management could have spoken with the call center staff and helped better prepare the company or call center for new and upcoming potential clients.

Pros

I genuinely love working at Walsingham Support, My manager is the best I’ve had approachable, understanding, and consistently supportive. They take the time to listen, encourage development, and create a really positive and motivating environment for the whole team. From a recruitment perspective, it’s also very rewarding to be part of a charity. Knowing that the roles we’re hiring for directly impact people’s lives adds real purpose to the work. The team culture is collaborative, supportive, and everyone is working towards the same goal.

Cons

Recruitment in the care sector can be fast-paced and sometimes challenging, but having strong leadership and a supportive team makes a big difference.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. It’s really encouraging to hear how supported you feel by your manager and wider team. Creating an environment where people feel listened to, valued, and able to grow is something we care deeply about, so it’s great to see that reflected in your experience. We’re also pleased that the purpose behind the work comes through so strongly. Recruitment plays a vital role in what we do, and it’s important that colleagues feel connected to the impact they’re making in people’s lives. We appreciate your honest reflection on the pace and challenges within the sector as well. It’s a reality of social care, but as you’ve highlighted, strong leadership and teamwork can make a real difference in how that feels day to day. Thank you again for your feedback and for the contribution you’re making. We’ll continue to focus on developing people-centred leadership and supporting our teams to do their best work.
