Suffolk County Council Careers and Employment

I had a few different roles over the course of the 8 years spent at SCC, but in each one there was not enough time or support to do the tasks they expected.

Good place to work

Worked here for three months and thoroughly enjoyed it colleagues were always willing and there to help out when there was a needPlenty of PPE always someone at the end of the phone during the day the only negative in my opinion is the out of hours service it could take absolutely ages for someone to answer the phoneThe only reason that I decided to leave was because of the virus otherwise this would have been my job until I retired In my opinion it’s a lovely place to work

Carer Assistant in Domicilliary

on 8 January 2021

Under appreciated and overworked.

No work life balance, absolutely work you to the bone with no regard for your well-being. Office staff get the best treatment, frontline Carers get stressed. Made to work long hours, often people had to work more than 5 days in a row. All split shifts, finishing at 10pm, then expected to be at work at 7am, sometimes expected to drive for 30 mins to get there, so often running in less than 6 hours sleep. Avoid working as a carer for this company, they don’t care about staff or clients.

Bullies

I worked for SCC when they had care homes. What can I say, bullying is rife. My then line manager made my life a nightmare . I raised a grievance but manager and SCC stuck together. Things were covered up, I would see my manager out of work in passing and he would make nasty comments to me, wave at me and smile. The abuse I was victim to was horrible. He turned everyone against me. I raised that he would buy the residents inappropriate videos, and watch it with them. This as was also covered up. It took me years to get over the way I was treated and things I saw still haunt me to this day.
