Healthcare assistant Review

My duties involved helping abs assisting residents get up, washed and dressed in the morning and using the toilet. I also assisted with medication. I assisted residents with food and fluids intake, moving safely around the care home, escorting them to medical appointments.

My skills have become stronger, making me a stronger team leader

Learning new things and having a trainer I got in well with, who helped me with my course and where I had some struggles.

Very well.

Didn’t get any support from the bupa care home and felt they were taking advantage of me. The bupa care home never followed through with the promises they made me after proving over abs o et again to them I was more than capable of taking on more responsibility and leadership. I felt undervalued and unappreciated by the bupa care home.

A lot of support was given by my trainer.

Opens up doors for other healthcare provider jobs.

None at all.

No

The bupa care home I worked at treated me badly and made me feel undervalued and unappreciated, despite doing more than my fair share, and more than any other carer there. I took on extra duties and I was not once recognised for everything I was doing for the bupa care home. I was often under pressure to make sure things got done abs oftentimes carrying other care staff who were very lazy and would not carry out the duties I asked them to do.

Think twice before applying to work at the bupa care home in Brighton, as you get taken advantage of and never recognised. Far too many agency staff there.
