BCHA Reviews

There is an environment of blame and bullying from the top down. The senior team do not value individuals or recognise skills. They fail to support staff and are quick to blame them for their own mistakes. Assistant directors and CEO does not acknowledge their own part in the failings at BCHA. There is no direction from the CEO or assistant directors. They do not lead or encourage and seem to wait for an opportunity to blame. If you value your career I would suggest you stay away from BCHA as they ruin careers. Staff turn over is extremely high and the CEO is reluctant to investigate this and listens only to his assistant directors. Support staff are afraid to report concerns as the blame culture if rife.... this makes it a dangerous place safeguarding wise.

In the time I worked there there was a large staff turnover (over 30% I believe) and if your face doesn’t fit you will soon be out of there. There is a blame and bullying culture led from the very top. Lots of bad business decisions made, the CEO and some of the directors and the blame is then passed down the line. Bullying culture is prevalent there, and I often heard assistant directors putting down others senior leaders to team members to take attention away from them. They claim to care about staff but first and foremost the CEO and some of the senior team have an approach that employees should be loyal and go above and beyond for BCHA despite them not doing the same to their staff. Benefits are really a joke despite claims they make. Lots of cliques and back stabbing goes on there. CEO spends most of his time trying to find faults in staff rather than leading the organisation to success.
