What Cedar Care employees say about their job
-
Best thing
Helping clients, makung a positive difference to people in the community.
Worst thing
Certainly pay, we practically ease the strain on the NHS, but are the lowest paid in social care. This is why there's a high staff turnover & hospitals are full. Having calls put on at last minute taking outside hours of availability, & low staff morale.
