Reviews

Case Management Officer in Newcastle upon Tyne
on 12 January 2023
Decent place to work
Very few advancement opportunities and difficult to relate to managers. Although work is doable the training is not as supportive as it could be but work life balance is fantastic
Team Leader in Ponteland
on 6 May 2023
Challenging but rewarding
Rewarding role, work family culture with a feeling of belonging. Strong team work culture which is needed due to the line of work. Making a difference in the communities that we are there to protect & serve.
Resource Controller in South Shields, Tyne and Wear
on 19 December 2022
Stressful, demanding, exhausting.
Very busy role, short staffed both internally and externally. Work with some lovely people who are mostly fed up and disenchanted with the department. Need many many more staff. Good shift pattern and pay.
Police Detective in North east
on 15 December 2022
Public sector job
Only going to get worse. Limited budgets, ridiculous workload. Ever changing priorities depending on government policy.Little support from the public and constantly vilified after making tough decisions
Police Officer in Sunderland
on 3 November 2022
Zero work life balance, zero salary and zero benefits
If you want to help your community and keep people safe this is the job for you. However, if you don't have a second job you'll struggle to survive. Wages are good on paper but the reality is the opposite. £800 in deductions a month- ridiculously high pension (good pension but don't think of retiring before 60 as it's 25% off per year you leave earlier) Friends on 22k a year take home only £150-...
