Fabulous to work for, good management and support to enhance skills and knowledge however due to redundancy lost my job otherwise would still be there.
enjoyed meeting new people and being self employed
great being able to work hours to suit
hardest part was working long 14hr shifts
typical day was sitting about in long taxi queues awaiting a fare
There was never a moment to relax you were always on the go doing something it was a very fast working environment where everything had a timeline and had to be done on time.
it is all go from start to finish mangers are very good and do help you out if you are stuck lads are good to work with yes not bad at all it a ok company to work for ill work there again they look after you till its your time to go
For nearly 20 years of work in the same college, I felt secure in my teaching job. However, I would rate work/life balance as 80% to 20%. Accessible but domineering management puts a lot of pressure on teachers especially with regard to time-consuming admin paperwork. On the positive side, there was a lot of CPD training which added to my IT and admin paperwork skills. I have also gained invaluable experience in teaching diverse and multicultural groups and awareness of the asylum and migrant system. The most notable and rewarding part of the job was teaching and my students' achievements.
Working as part of a team and responsible for various cleaning duties to ensure the cleanliness of the building. Complying with all proper safety policies and procedures when using cleaning chemicals. Making sure that COSHH regulations are adhered to on the use of chemicals, protective clothing and equipment
Clean streets of flytipping items. Litter picking. Brushing streets. Call outs to flytipping incidents. Fab place to work. Great bunch of people to work with
I love working in my kitchen. We are like a small family.
Kitchens are very busy, and there is often over time available. And another plus is that you get all the school holidays off
brilliant experience and helps better people skills. All employees are relaxed and welcoming but very committed to the area of work, overall a spot on place to work
I enjoyed my job at Newcastle social cervices I was treated with respect and looked after as a valued member of staff we had a fantastic senior team and our managers were very understanding to all of us.
A typical day at work involves working in a fast paced environmentin a multi-disciplined team. The most enjoyable part of the job is meeting new people and getting new challenges.
Great kitchen colleagues. We all helped each other. This job is ideal if you have kids at school as hours and holidays suit. I spent my 4 years at this job very happy. If you have any problems, the management are willing to do what they can to help. I only had one problem at another school kitchen but it was quickly resolved. Hard, fast work but worth it.
Great experience learnt lots and gained lots of valuable skills/qualifications I was an apprentice and loved every minute of it. Great management great colleagues great job. Wish I could go back.

Everything

Lots of good hard working people there, however, also lots of people in posts earning 40k plus who seem to spend most of their time in meetings and offer very little productivity.
Pros
Flexi
Cons
Constant job cuts - No promotion opportunities
Handling difficult situations working with a team and on my own.
Cash Handling taking payments face to face and over the telephone.
Most enjoyable working with the public every day is never the same working in a busy environment. Taking bookings and dealing with members enquires and inputting members data.
Pros
Very good mamagement
Cons
Unsociable hours
good overall workplace, quite strict which in my eyes is good, excellent pay and holidays, sickness pay, strict on sickness too, easy to get along with employees, great working benefit, completed my food hygeine certificate whilst working here.

Cons
overtime not payed, just expected to do
I enjoyed everything about my roles in the years there, the management were incredibly helpful, my colleagues were full of enthusiasm and we always got a buzz from helping the elderly people!
