In their own words

Free-text answers, exactly as written. Not graded.

  • Julia Hartley

    Aleksandra was one of the most dependable members of the team. Clients asked for her by name and she never left a visit without the notes done properly. We were sorry to lose her and I would take her back tomorrow.

    Julia Hartley, Registered Manager · Meadowbrook Care Ltd
    Key strengths
    Calm under pressure, thorough with medication records, well liked by clients and families.
    Areas for development
    Could be more confident leading handovers when the senior is off shift.

  • Peter Rowe

    Good with clients and a genuinely kind person. Timekeeping was a bit of an issue early on but it improved once we changed her rota.

    Peter Rowe, Owner · Rowe Domiciliary Care Ltd
    Key strengths
    Reliable with clients, and picked up the routines quickly.
    Areas for development
    Occasional late starts in the first few months.

These answers came back through the link we emailed to each referee at the address on file.
