Bayside Health Nook

BHN is a lovely place to work both physically (the clinic is modern and stylish with loads of natural light and even has a little coffee shop/window) as well as emotionally with a friendly and supportive team. 

Typical day: Most clinicians will work independently with their clients in private rooms or in the gym. There is usually time for admin and a coffee and a quick catch up with team members. Some days we have an inservice or team meeting (which might be all staff clinic meetings or particular health practitioners to discuss/problem solve particular cases)

Management is very understanding about lives outside of work and this job has been accomodating to needs for time off for various things, or flexibility to go to appointments/look after kids etc. they are also supportive of career development and as a practice we try and foster each others interest (eg - directing appropriate clients to different practitioners, supporting with CPD etc)

Workplace culture is friendly, people ask about your weekend and listen to what you say. We have done the occassional social gathering but don't do it very often. I would probably like a few more drinks after work etc but people are usually busy outside of work - me included so it often doesn't happen. 

While things started off well at BHN, the high staff turnover and constant changes in management and procedures has put strain on both clients and clinicians. 

The sheer amount of job ads listed under this company should be an indication of the business status and success. 

While the work and clients here are good, the management, billing, service agreements, and customer care are so mismanaged and often overlooked. 

Support/ learning opportunities for staff/ clinicians again is underwhelming. Most staff who don't have a team are on their own with no opportunity for growth and ongoing development in their skills- hence why they leave, which of course puts more pressure on the 'team' that's left over. 
The same goes for the onboarding of staff. Can not begin to list the number of people who have been there for over a year, and still have no idea about the basic procedures which should be done. Not that this is their fault, they were just never taught correctly. 

Finally, the culture behind closed doors. The alleged treatment of some staff is just unacceptable and I personally cannot support an environment which cuts corners like this. 

Unfortunately, my experience with this company has been quite disappointing. The management seems to be poor, which has resulted in a lack of support for staff when it comes to training and career progression. I have found that there is little investment in staff development, and the opportunities for advancement are limited.

As a result of this, there has been a high turnover of staff within the company, which has impacted team morale and productivity. The lack of support and guidance from management has left many feeling unsupported and unappreciated.

Overall, I cannot recommend this company to anyone looking for a supportive and nurturing work environment. The management needs to take steps to address these issues, invest in staff development and create a positive work culture that values and supports its employees.

There was low remuneration and progression thereof. My hours were often cut without notice (even as a full time employee). While the staff members are generally very kind, there is a very high staff turnover rate, with so many staff changes to the point that it completely changed the workplace culture. You are often expected to work outside of your job description without support or mentoring to do so. I was promised full support and mentorship, but this promise didn't last long after starting the job. My diary constantly changed without notice and more often breaks were removed. As a result, the workplace was very stressful.

Great community business that genuinely cares for its customers and clients.
Despite the challenging times, owner is transparent and honest about the environment and issues over recruitment. Some people have not liked the honesty but for me has been the most transparent place I have ever worked.
Recent departures have been mix of staff relocating and those who are the wrong cultural fit. Sad to see how negative some people can be when a community practice is trying its hardest to help people in a pandemic.
I have never had issues and enjoy what I do 

Everyone is friendly and welcoming in the mornings. Management are always respectful and supportive of staff. Staff strongly collaborate across disciplines, brainstorm/ problem-solve.
There are physios, massage therapists, OT, speech, exercise physiologists, nutrition/ dietetics.
There is a large variety of clients across all ages, including clients with disability.

The staff members are an asset to this business, but unfortunately are treated very poorly, hence a high turnover. There is a clear lack of support for clinicians and staff, management seem to be only concerned with profiting off staff. No work life balance and broken promises found by all current and ex staff. Lack of helpful training and supervision for those staff members requiring/seeking it. Management take no responsibility for their actions.

Community business that care a lot about their customers and the local community. Team has been fantastic on the whole, few staff had displayed bad behaviour but thankfully they have left. Culture has been good even though time has been hard. Management try where they can despite lockdowns and staff only here for the money.

I enjoyed working at BHN even though things were challenging at times (thanks COVID!).
I felt supported and had a clear idea of where my career progression was heading. 
Problem solving was required at times, it could be a challenge but helped me grow and times have been hard for everyone.
I loved the staff, clients and felt supported by management whenever I needed it.
