Employees appreciate working with lovely and dedicated colleagues who create an inclusive and supportive atmosphere at Montefiore. Staff members enjoy caring for the residents, finding them interesting and lovely to work with. The organisation offers training opportunities, supervision and mentoring, allowing staff to develop and learn in their roles. The work environment is described as good quality with excellent infrastructure and a focus on safety, and employees value the good benefits and wellbeing programme with various activities on offer.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as varying management approaches with concerns about micromanagement and people skills in certain areas. Staffing levels can sometimes be stretched, particularly in dining services. The pace of change can be fast with high expectations, and each day brings different challenges. Some employees have also experienced language barriers, with residents speaking Russian and staff speaking their own languages during shifts, which can occasionally impact communication.
