productive and fun work place

Family Support Coordinator (Syrian Families) (Current Employee) - Godalming, Surrey - 23 August 2019

A typical day at work would be connecting with the families that I support to see how they are doing ; following up with what is on my to do list with regards to these families and discussing the family cases with my direct line manager, the senior family support coordinator. Every phone call or text that we undertake with regards to the refugee families that we support has to be entered in strictly confidential case notes together with any developments that are made with regards to the families, either through us visiting or contacting them by other means or through them contacting us and asking for our help and support.

Pros

flexbile working hours

Cons

the current uncertainty regarding funding and the continuity of my post as a result

Beautiful surroundings, a supportive workplace

Tenant Consultation Officer (Former Employee) - Godalming - 2 November 2016

Waverly Borough Council was set in one of the most grandest parts of the country and the beautiful surrey countryside. Farnham to the north of the Borough is a beautiful market town. The other three urban parts the district were Haslemere, Godalming and Cranleigh. At Waverly I was based at the main building so you get to know more people. I was the only person doing my job which was Tenant Consultation Officer so it was left to me to work on my own initiative, which I enjoyed I worked closely with a group of elected residents whom I got to know well and it gave me experience of seeing the service from the recipients side. I enjoyed organising functions for tenants, staff and councillors and being able to do on courses and workshops.
