good place to learn
Care Service Employee (Current Employee) – Gerringong NSW – 18 April 2019
lots of work available while you are casual. not enough support to be able to move upwards within the company. work life balance is hard to maintain. residents are amazing to work with
Stressful place with low morale, poor management
care employee (Former Employee) – Elanora – 7 April 2019
Initially okay to work for but have seen the decline in almost a decade with Uniting. Low staffing levels, constant criticism from management, very low morale workplace and neglected clients. Would not recommend anyone apply for uniting jobs.
Cons
stressful, abusive, low morale
Uniting Care do NOT care
EX support worker (Former Employee) – Brisbane – 10 March 2019
I left after 8 years of loyal service.
I reported MAJOR abuse of clients....that had been reported previously by others but ignored by management.
I went as high as I could go.I should have gone to Police.
NO action was taken for several months..
I suspect that's how long it took for a inept/chaotic management to cover their ar$es.....When I left in disgust I was threatened with legal action if I told anyone about the awful long running abuses I uncovered. I had to go to Fair Work Australia to get to get my entitlements paid.
I am very happy to divulge EVERYTHING I know to the upcoming Royal Commission in to Disability Care

Low morale
Aged Care Village Manager (Former Employee) – Sydney NSW – 11 February 2019
The culture is quite poor and morale is low. Not really interested in staff needs or pressures.
Little regard for work load
Nice part of job was other staff who helped each other
Learned some new systems
Best part of job was the residents who were very supportive
Hardest part was increasing levels of work. Requiring increasing work hours with no pay.

Toxic Enviroment where bullies run the show
Hospitality Worker (Current Employee) – Bundaberg QLD – 16 January 2019
My self-worth, self-esteem and love for fellow man has been destroyed from being in such a toxic environment, full of manipulation and hate. Every day I went to work I began dry reaching this became part of the daily routine. I will shoot myself before. I go into one of those places again. Managers and support staff are the biggest bullies there.
Pros
There is none. I've seen care staff make their own eg. Eat part of a residents meal
Cons
Bluecare are the real cons

Assist residents (Current Employee) – Emu Plains NSW – 13 November 2018
Although they tried i found my needs weren't met and conflict was not handled very professionally. Due to a dispute where another staff member was questioning inappropriate things regarding my personal life I was accused of verbally abusing this staff member and could no longer work in that section. Absolutely disgraceful.
Pros
The co-workers were pleasant
Undervalued staff
Personal carer (Current Employee) – Kingscliff nsw – 21 September 2018
Toxic management. Great caring hardworking staff, who have NO respect for management due to the fact they feel down trodden and undervalued. Management needs education on how to treat staff.
Pros
Caring staff
Cons
Very poor, sarcastic manager
Not for Profit
Program Manager (Former Employee) – Brisbane QLD – 22 August 2018
Massive scale of infrastructure and huge staff slowed the capacity for innovation with senior level people interested in playing management games rather than innovation.
Pros
Capacity for independence of thought to discover new angles.
Cons
Bureaucracy to gain agreement to strategy.
Fun place to work.
Registered Nurse (Current Employee) – North Parramatta NSW – 11 June 2018
Good place to work, very supportive coworker. Management is very supportive. Good work culture. Very convenient, close to Parramatta shopping centre. Good salary.
Pros
Good salary
Cons
Not many shifts available
Very good workplace and staff
Care Service Employee (Current Employee) – West Pennant Hills NSW – 16 May 2018
The management of this workplace is satisfactory. Difficulties happen when there is a shortness of staff to work on the shifts rostered. I have learned multiple skills from working here. I am content with this workplace.
Clients are great
Carer (Former Employee) – Brisbane QLD – 10 March 2018
Management need improving Its their way only. Do not have a opinion and do not have a family life. This company says they care about you in training but this is far from the truth and they don't acre that the client is unhappy when you are removed from being their carer.
Pros
Client
Cons
Management
Fun,supportive group
Retail Assistant (Former Employee) – Prahran VIC – 20 February 2018
I loved working at Prahran Uniting Care opp shop. A typical Day at work involves sorting and pricing donations, working at the till and providing customer service, help with the displays and merchandising. A fun supportive team to work with. The most enjoyable part of the job is meeting and helping customers and sorting through the donations.
Pros
supportive environment
I very much enjoyed working at UCS
Bookkeeper (Former Employee) – Sydney NSW – 31 January 2018
This organisation encouraged a friendly atmosphere as well as being respectful to each employee irrespective of your position.
My main job there as a contractor on a daily basis was supporting the Financial Controller in the reconciliation of the payroll and staff leave balances.
The organisation was merging various centres hence the need for the
payroll and staff records to be updated and recorded correctly.
I just loved working there.
