Support worker - Support Worker Lifeways Employee Review

You are treated like a person with intrinsic value. The care and compassion they have is not only for the patients they care for but for all staff.

The program used for documentation is far from user friendly and crashes often.

I got paid. HR was helpful. I loved the patients, they were great. The social workers were nice, One of the techs was amazing.

They hired me as PRN then scheduled me for full-time hours so they didn't have to pay me benefits. I worked the night shift but there were mandatory daytime meetings we had to go to which messed up my sleep schedule. Nothing essential, nothing that couldn't have been emailed, videoed, or told to us during our actual shift. The training on the different types of mental illness is laughable, over-simplified, and full of stereotypes. There is a shocking amount of mental health stigma from WITHIN the hospital by staff. Workplace bullying.
