Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry that you felt this way about your time at Walsingham Support. We work collaboratively to get the best outcome and welcome feedback from our staff, it is because of this that we are one of the leading national specialist care providers.

Pros

I genuinely love working at Walsingham Support, My manager is the best I’ve had approachable, understanding, and consistently supportive. They take the time to listen, encourage development, and create a really positive and motivating environment for the whole team. From a recruitment perspective, it’s also very rewarding to be part of a charity. Knowing that the roles we’re hiring for directly impact people’s lives adds real purpose to the work. The team culture is collaborative, supportive, and everyone is working towards the same goal.

Cons

Recruitment in the care sector can be fast-paced and sometimes challenging, but having strong leadership and a supportive team makes a big difference.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. It’s really encouraging to hear how supported you feel by your manager and wider team. Creating an environment where people feel listened to, valued, and able to grow is something we care deeply about, so it’s great to see that reflected in your experience. We’re also pleased that the purpose behind the work comes through so strongly. Recruitment plays a vital role in what we do, and it’s important that colleagues feel connected to the impact they’re making in people’s lives. We appreciate your honest reflection on the pace and challenges within the sector as well. It’s a reality of social care, but as you’ve highlighted, strong leadership and teamwork can make a real difference in how that feels day to day. Thank you again for your feedback and for the contribution you’re making. We’ll continue to focus on developing people-centred leadership and supporting our teams to do their best work.
