Permanent staff are recruited and sent to work elsewhere to provide cover, sometimes at short notice. This practice can last for months, you’re not told this when they recruit you. Culture of fear about speaking up, you will be penalised. Staff aren’t content, high sickness absence and turnover in other branches, due to management style and behaviours Lack of care and support for staff, I think many are looking to move on. Taking on children some who need extra care without understanding what they need. Had to leave to protect my mental health.
