Vantaggi
Working for a not for profit charity where your help changes peoples lives for a living. Its cheesy but true! Even despite all the admin and high workloads. You really get the best job satisfaction ever and meet some truly inspiring people and help support shaping their lives for the better. helping improve local communities, services and businesses you are always learning and meeting new people have pretty much total autonomy of your diary and approach very flexible shifts and working arrangements very supportive with innovative and unique services for staff for wellbeing. There is a very active and switched on internal community that if you have free time to dip into you gain brilliant knowledge and insight into being more informed on all things diversity, equality, inclusion etc. There's an internal wellbeing support mechanism available 121 and in groups to help with reflection and processing things that have been very well received. The CEO is brilliant and has a great perspective on things, the market place and business.
Svantaggi
Targets, overly admin heavy with high work load and caseload! People end up do busy to do anything they want, even down to getting support and general assistance. It can feel counterintuitive chasing KPIs for paid by performance numbers for the commissioners whilst trying to balance an approach and methodology that focusses on quality and support.(IPS Grow) Pressure to achieve monthly referral, outcome and Face to Face employer engagement targets drives the wrong behaviour.
