BCHA

Filthy places, some of the staff are patronizing and condescending. Staff that are meant to support vulnerable tenants are stressed, overworked, lone working 8 hours (hence no breaks in 8 hours, hello unions?) and normally bullied. Almost every scheme has one or two bullies that scare off new staff. Bullying behaviour is completely acceptable and normalized in this company, the complaints are endless and whoever complaints is victimized and ends up leaving, nothing ever gets done. This explains the incredibly high staff turn over. Most of the schemes rely on agency workers that don't know or have any interest whatsoever on the tenants and how to support them. High up managment are very incompetent and swapping posts every now and again. What a shame of a company that have the potential of doing great work for the homeless but can't do that, let alone be a decent employer. bcha, just practice what you preach! Better than living on the streets? Of course, but very far from ideal. Looking for a job? definetly avoid, you'll be better off anywhere else.

I recently had an interview with BCHA. The job seemed like a great opportunity to develop my skills so I answered all questions with complete candour. Even admitting my dismissal from a previous role which (at the time) they said would not be a problem. My interview was a month ago and no one had the decency to call and say I had been unsuccessful. Regardless that this was a temporary position, someone should have had the respect to contact me, even if just by email. Not the sort of behaviour I would expect from a company that supports vulnerable people and claims to have a supportive work atmosphere.

BCHA are amazing at times things get hard as life is not perfect. People that give negative reviews have had a uncomfortable experience, the review is one sided and BCHA have a side too. My personal experience is amazing yes it's been hard at times it's mostly front line work what do you expect. My foundation is BCHA. Love them
