Care and Support Manager (Former Employee) - North London, Greater London - 22 July 2020

I gained a lot of knowledge in a new area of work during my time with this employer which has been very valuable. It is a very fast paced environment which is not always condusive with a healthy work/life balance hence my decision to leave.

Fun and very welcoming environment.

Customer Service Officer (Current Employee) - North London - 9 March 2013

Typical day starts at 8 or 9'o clock in the morning,I learned that you have to be ready and well equipped for the varying types of challenges and demands that each day would bring,Management were often very helpful and understanding ,my co-workers are great ,hardest part of the job is not having up to date IT support or latest software and the most enjoyable parts of the job are the recognition given to staff when they went above or beyond their job specifications.

Pros

flexible working

Cons

complex complaints

Good Workplace but Disappointing Relocation

Social Worker (Former Employee) - Colindale, Greater London - 26 June 2022

When starting, there was a good team with good workplace culture. Management was open and supportive of new social workers for the most part. There was generous and flexible work arrangements as well. The real downside though, was the relocation package was really lacking with support to transition to living and working and London. There were many logistical issues and things were very slow to get up and running, so it was very disappointing to experience this especially from moving to London from overseas. HR basically ghosted me upon arrival with their support.
