Just been fired after 2 weeks. Apparently enquiries regarding payslips and payment when you haven't been paid is a problem. Truth is its a very small company, no n phone calls coming I'm and business virtually nonexistent. They obviously cogent afford someone on my salary!

So many other options. Why work for these unprofessional people? Such a bad company ran by a terrible Director who is bound to go out of business one day if they don't change pretty much everything

Please I am begging everyone to be aware of this company, they would rip you off when possible. if you are a causal staff working for them, make sure you have you ALL prove of assignment because they may never pay your wages, someone describe them as targeting vulnerable people that is an understatement. My review is they deserve a 0 star from me

Awesome team, very approachable, willingness to help everyone from clients to temporary agency staff. Working in the care sector is a privilege and a honour to be able to contribute to our society sustainability by helping people in need. I would highly recommend Yvonne Lewis Group to kindred Support Workers looking for flexi-time work.

It has been a journey of training,experiences, discovering job opportunities and varied job roles. My personal experience with Yvonne Lewis Group (YLG) was initially one of uncertainty but I was determined that they know that I am here for the long haul. I asked questions that needed answers which they came back to me. When uncertain of my job role,I have called the office and received information and support to assist me. They asked my preference in jobs I sought and suggested related shifts. I had the opportunity to work in roles I knew little about but I was supported along the way and thrived
