This company will send ANYBODY to care homes across the UK without even sending off the a DBS check. I know this as it happened to me.
I have a couple of assaults on my record which was disclosed in my interview and I explained to two different managers of my covictions before starting work.
However this did not seem to phase them as I was sent off to work in several different care home across Derbyshire.
I enjoyed the work, in fact the care homes are lovely with great staff and residents. I also received great feedback from staff and residents!
Eventually after months of working with the company they must of finally realised they did not do their job correctly to which lead to my suspension.
After finding out they messed up they sacked me,
STOLE £160 with the excuse of I went A-WALL ... which then changed to I was sick without a sick note (I was off less than a week and advised to stay off work whilst keeping contact updating the company how I was feeling).. which I did with call logs to prove it.
Jenny is a manager for elior and she was the person behind the lies.
Not only has she lied to keep my wages from me, other employees would tell me how horrible she is as a person - I saw this myself and I can agree that she is more than horrible but lets not get into that....
I am still fighting for my wages to this date and the lies from Jenny are actually very funny, yet sad for a person that served in the army you'd have thought there would be some sort of professional attitude towards the work she does but this is far from a professional person.
For anybody wanting to work for Elior - it's okay... just avoid Jenny and anyone close to her as she will most likely have corrupted them too.
This review is here not for hate sharing towards Jenny or the company. I wanted to make everyone aware that if you have elderly family that require a care home with staff that may have convictions.
Please, I advise you to do your homework on the catering company before sending vulnerable family/friends to the care homes listed below.
Luckily I am well past the alcohol related scuffles and worked passionately for the residents and loved providing them with meals they enjoyed.
It is a true shame that Elior has let down these care homes down with their lack of care and safety checks.
Here are some of the care homes you should probably avoid if you want your family member to be 100% safe....
Balmoral - Sheffield.
The Old Vicarage - Worksop
The Lodge - Killamarsh
The Heights - Tupton
The Vale - Bolsover
These care homes are a few that I have been to work at personally and I can confirm Elior run these kitchens at the above locations and must be avoided!
I hope this helps anyone that wishes to have their loved ones safe and secure before choosing a care home in the Derbyshire area.
