Elite-Ems

Most days you can expect to receive a multitude of emails from “management” currently an acting OM who has barely qualified as a Tech and seemingly has zero experience or skills in any field but is mates with the owners and part of a clique.
If you can avoid that and the little pockets of wrong uns there are some great people, some ex Trust who have your back. Control team work hard to try to accommodate and fill shifts and are always, without exception, lovely to deal with. But the owners really do need to get someone who knows how to speak to people (and spellcheck their emails) as it currently has no professionalism. Coupled with a HQ that looks like a junk yard…hardly a great advert for prospective business.
If you can zone out the endless crew bashing emails 7 days a week, ignore broken and missing kit, no radios, broken terrafix , using your own data on your mobile to record jobs, stock, vehicle checks….list grows daily and give up 30mins of your time free each start of shift checking and logging and taking pictures of your truck before even attempting to do your job then this is the place for you. It could be good but not until jobs for mates ceases.

I can not warn you enough to avoid this employer I was employed as a ACA sent out with a brand new crew mate baring in mind I was new too. We were given very basic first aid and told to call 999 if something went wrong (it did) got a disciplinary for calling 999 as looks bad on the company. Disciplinary practice was shocking wasn’t given warning at all wasn’t allowed a witness couldn’t call union rep or nothing. Management will always look to blame you is something goes wrong. Not even to mention the £2000 waiver if you damage a vehicle or someone hits YOU. Would avoid like the plague and go for another private provider or back to trust. Will tell you you’ve earned certain course and not give you the certificate to prove it. Not to mention your start time is what time you start in your area so if you start at 07:00 you’ve got to get to bad and then drive to area if your an ACA so 2 hours unpaid each way!!! ridiculous 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very toxic management. Took payments out for your pension but then found out pensions not been paid. 
Company took over two other companies then went into administration. Not very loyal to loyal staff. Put you on a contract then if they have no work for you only give you 4 hours paid instead of a 12 hour shift. Stay away from this company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with management and hopefully being paid for the work you have done. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic lack of equipment not enough shifts 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Crew mates are fabulous and dealing with patients that need help get you through your shift

Every month there’s issues with wages, management from junior to senior bunch of kids with a bullying and harassment mentality. No welfare support or care, trust will support you more than company management. When they find someone who have no scare of them they will find a way to kick you out even knowing you’re bank staff/sell employed they try to impose company policies to which they don’t follow as company, they don’t follow any employment laws creating their own policies at their demand and convenient only to them.

Elite ems are a great company to work for reasonable rates of pay and good trucks quality up to date equipment. Over all good management every company has some issues but over all elite was a lovely place to work as they grew. At first was much more personal but as they grew with other depo’s for me management has become stretched or a certain manager became complacent and lazy and personnel have become just a number and a bum on a seat but as I say over all a very good company one that I’m sad to say I’ve had to leave but my time with elite will never be forgotten and will be considered a good employment.

Started off exciting and interesting and have travelled all over the country. However was not given proper training and quickly became very toxic environment to be in. Had issues with wages every month, expected to work 4/5 12 hour shifts in a row WITHOUT a crew mate who could drive and was given a hard time when I had to take time off for a family emergency. New staff in and out every day. £1500 minimum waiver fine if you damage truck whilst driving - even if not your fault. 
Unprofessional managers who harass staff. Complete bullies. 

Management poor and not approachable. Always blame staff even when not at fault.  Try to make you pay £2000 excess for accidents even when they haven’t claimed from insurance. Don’t pay on time. Question timesheets and refuse to pay but don’t tell you about any problems even if it was 5 minutes difference. Management don’t abide by employment laws when attempting to discipline staff.

Poor company to work for. Management are unprofessional and wouldnt last a day in the Trust. Actually would never be able to get in to management in the Trust.
Most of the managers are ECAs and Techs who walk around with cornflake pips on shoulders which is laughable. 
Road staff are terrible with poor clinical skills. ECAs think they are doctors and some of the Techs think they are Surgeons. Avoid this company

This company is poorly managed and you worry constantly if you will be paid. They have gone into administration once this year already. Poor management culture,  hardly any stock , ambulances are constantly breaking down  and old. 

Paid reasonably well for this sector but you can be cancelled anytime. No training opportunities. Very poor clinical governence and leadership. A sinking ship i think.  

once on the road with your crew it is an amazing job, the downside is the management. i personally feel there is no respect from management and they will not always take your concerns/requests seriously. no complaints can be made against one member of management as they all stick together and you will end up being the one facing the consequences
