London Borough of Barnet
London Borough of Barnet Employee Review
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.
Pros
Great colleagues.
Cons
Disappointing relocation package.

Well resourced LA and lots of training and emotional support during Covid. Management were very supportive and approachable. There was lots of bite size training around Liquid Logic and systems services were always available for additional support when need be.
