Wakefield College Careers and Employment

Great staff members in my department - management good. Enjoyed working here - felt quite corporate at times. Made to do a lot of pointless time consuming jobs.

Poorly managed sausage factory, they do not care about the learners and treat staff like unwanted pennies.

Line managers are unsupportive and sweep everything under the rug. Senior leaders only care about spread sheets and are not interested in what is actually happing. Managers have a blatant disregard for the safety of students and staff. When you try to raise concerns you are either ignored, slapped down or they try to find reasons to get rid of you, including setting traps for you to fall into. They also offer course which they cannot provide as they are do not have the minimum required learning resourses and are unwilling to buy new or replace wornout resourses. This place is only intetested in money and making the spread sheets look good for the governors. Providing a good quality place of leaning and education is unfortunately the least important priority.

Supportive line managers

Good, supportive place to work. Management increasingly showing their appreciation of staff, however, wage needs to improve for support staff to make them really feel valued.

Poor decision making & inadequate communication

My role involves being an excellent communicator at all levels, showing a very calm and caring nature and maintaining keen observation skills and being responsive to meet individual learner needs.
