High pressure but making a difference in a difficult climate

Adult social care worker (Current Employee) - Kingston upon Hull - 28 February 2022

High pressure environment. If your not a social worker you are under valued. Specific people seem to rise quickly through the ranks when their face fits. Immediate colleagues are very supportive and caring but there is a sense of everyone been weathered now. Having said that working directly with people to improve their lives is highly rewarding and we really do 'make a difference- the best part of the job is when someone thanks you

Friendly and productive workplace

Waste Management (Former Employee) - Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire - 6 January 2021

Spent two years in Waste Management in a role which provided great skills for public sector working e.g project management, customer service, complaint resolution etc. Friendly team and managers who supported a great work / life balance. There was no micromanaging of staff but senior colleagues were always knowledgable and approachable if help was needed. Varied office and field based work made the role interesting. Would recommend this employer, particularly this service area.

Pros

Flexible working, good working hours, good management

Out dated management

Recruitment Assistant (Current Employee) - Kingston upon Hull - 31 December 2020

Poor management structures in place which often leads to overworked, stressed staff at the bottom of the scale. Long term staff often complacent and reluctant to change. Coming from the private sector I struggled to adapt to inflexible, outdated systems and a very rigid tier system. Other departments may be different but both I experienced were difficult and pressurised roles with poor pay structure

Pros

Job security and pension

Cons

Outdated management attitude

Great Department

Hull (Former Employee) - Hull City Centre, East Riding of Yorkshire - 1 March 2020

Great Department to work for. Not a lot of options if on a Fixed Term Contract though. Do not agree on point scoring at interviews should go on skills and abilty and not just how you perform at interview has some people are better at showing there skills and not just answering question

Pros

Great Department

Colleagues are mutually supportive

Social Worker (Current Employee) - Hull City Centre, East Riding of Yorkshire - 31 January 2020

With so many years experience there are inevitably highs and lows. Working for the Local Authority not a role that is taken on in isolation and therefore the effect of cuts on agencies with whom we need to work cannot be ignored. The cuts are however also leading to difficult decisions being taken within the authority. Unfortunately the are often ultimately counter-productive. I feel it is difficult to maintain the high standards to which I would like to work due to the amount of my time being spent taking on work that could be streamlined or undertaken by staff in other supportive roles.
