What is the best part of working at the company?
Some supportive staff members. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The new documents written by manager stating no hygiene needs to be attended to between 7.30 and 9.00 due to staff cuts to hospitality sector leaving care staff having to attend to meal ordering and delivery. 
This for me resulted in me resigning due to a direct manager order to encourage elder abuse of neglect by the care staff. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
At first it was great,  until new management arrived after extension to building.
Some care new staff arriving did not appear trained sufficiently with manual handling in my opinion.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Mornings were always hectic, medication rounds taking longer due to staff shortage and having to help carers with their work. 
Ridiculous rules by management proving impossible to complete tasks.

I worked a few years ago at one of the small aged care centres. I had an awful time there. I got victimised by other staff members. The job resulted in discipline reaction being taken against me.In my many decades of my career I have never undergone that sort of treatment and had never jad any sort of action taken against me. I was absolutely appalled by the way that the HR dealt with the situation. 

For me it was quite shocking that such are some of the progressive social justice-oriented church treated employees that way. 

It was paricularly sad given that it the clients were such a fantastic group of people and some of the staff in the centre were such dedicated and generous people.

Has become a grind with impossible work tasks set by the Senior Care Manager. This causes stress and anxiety and a poor work culture. If tasks are not completed public bullying occurs. There is little time to spend with Residents which used to be the most enjoyable aspect of the job. Teamwork has mostly become non existent as this facility works from a top to bottom style of management, facilitated in most part by the Senior Care Manager. Staff turnover is high. A once great place to work has been sacrificed by one person.

I worked in Home Care Packages. Staff and Management in this area are terrible! Client Advisors act in the capacity of Case Management and several have been given these roles (not applied for the role or interviewed) where they were employed as PCW’s! No qualifications or sector experience. Terrible bullying culture/behaviour from these very people, aimed at staff that are more qualified and experienced because of their own inadequacies

I love the vision and values of this organisation but the reality in their regional Home Care Programs is deeply disappointing. Managers with limited formal education and zero understanding of clinical governance make this a stressful work environment for any registered health professional. Anybody voicing concerns about substandard care will be victimised and pushed out. It's like the Royal Commission never happened!

I was privileged enough to work with them in Box Hill for my work experience. The staff were great. I am thankful to have worked there assisting/ attending  the elderly. It was such  great learning experince for me that i now want to continue doing it.  Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your great team there in Box Hill.

Program Managers are not  trained or have experience in home care. Uniting AgeWell once cared about clients and staff and now it’s about profit" . Ignores the fact that staff are stressed. Makes changes for changes sake and to justify their position. Once a great company but now just like all the others. Needs a clean out of managers .

I enjoy working here. Despite my clinical experience in hospital and education, working at Uniting Agewell still gives me the most rewarding experience and career advancement. Having had the opportunity to work in various roles of leadership, I developed my knowledge, skills and ability to resolve issues dynamically.

Very calm and peaceful environment with few number of staff with very rear arguments. When any special function comes all work as a team. Very easy communication and coordination with other departments as everyone's aspiration is residents' happiness, health and satisfaction.
