Thankless and overworked jobThe good thingsReputable organisation lead by a CEO who has a genuine passionate for healthcare. Company systems and processes are extensive and well set-up. Many opportunities for career growth within the aged care sector.
The challengesThe company do a lot of talk about "looking after their nurses" and expect loyalty in return. The staff here, especially RN's, are overworked and underappreciated. They've built a culture where apparently it's okay to volunteer hours of your own time staying back every shift, almost everyday. The immense workload is overwhelming and they do everything but hire more staff; instead they blame time management and call it a part of the job. They don't pay overtime or offer salary packaging, instead have a "Aegis Appreciate" program which is utterly useless. For a job where your AHPRA registration is on the line every single shift, it's not only dangerous, but you are so unsupported and alone. I'll be sticking this job out for a couple more months then moving on to somewhere I'm actually appreciated.
