St John of God Health Care Employee Reviews

They don't hire experienced nurses to cut money and costs. Unsafe work loads. Rosters don't come out 2 weeks in advance. They send you home early and cut pay if it's quiet and don't honour contracts. Don't really care for staff. All show when it comes to caring but they only support and promote based on budgets.

Overall a good place to work

LOD Facilitator (Former Employee) - Murdoch WA - 5 November 2022

It would be a great place to work, minus all the bullying. I’ve experienced bullying and harassment in every department I worked in, unfortunately mostly overlooked by management.

So glad working at St. John of God they are great team looking after each other. Great management from the our CEO until all the beautiful nurses around.

Same old private hospital pranks

Nurse (Former Employee) - Victoria - 4 October 2022

Nurse patient ratio higher than public. Pt acuity not always taken into account when allocating pt load. Managers are lovely and trying their best to do their job but sometimes at the expense of a good nurse

It’s a job

Cons

No patient ratios

Great first experience until you start to know your coworkers.

Sterilisation Technician (Former Employee) - Subiaco WA - 26 October 2021

Worked as a CSSD technician; if you start here first then you can work anywhere! The first 3 months goes fast and everyone seems helpful at first, but the longer you stay the more you realise how discriminatory and manipulative the management is. Your coworkers dont actually want to help you + are obvious they are only there for the salary and not enjoying what they do.Gossip is prevalent.You are always guilted when you take leave by your coworkers and manager.If you want to work in the CSSD department, I wish you the best of luck -- you will need it.

Pros

Free food in teabreak area, fast-paced work environment

Cons

No collaboration, emotional and mental stress

New NUM of Maria Lock Ward favours long term staff over new

Assistant in Nursing in Acute Care (Former Employee) - SJOG Hawkesbury ML Ward - 13 October 2020

The new NUM of this ward favoured long term staff over newer staff & gave away all the shifts to his friends. The NUM who hired me initially was amazing & very fair in shift allocations! Unfortunately she moved on & the replacement NUM was actually seen first hand playing favourites & then lied when no shifts were left for other staff that were hired specifically for ML Ward!The other team members were nice & if it wasnt for lack of shifts?I would have stayed! To go from 2-3 shifts per week, to none for 5+ weeks! Was unfair ...Its sad as I initially worked there as Agency Staff & converted to SJOG staff & have worked there on & off for a few years!But with this new num? He favoured his mates first & shifts ceased.He even hired more staff , however couldn't even give all the team shifts??!DONT WORK HERE

Pros

Some Staff are fair & nice

Cons

The new male NUM of ML ward is rude & favours his mates

Bad experience

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - North Richmond NSW - 23 June 2020

The culture of bullying, nepotism and unprofessional management is rife within the facility I was employed at, I was employed for 17 years, the last 5 years were an absolute nightmare, they do not adhere to their mission statement, it's not what you know, but who you know at SJOGH.
