Bat Conservation Trust Reviews

I've never worked for any organisation that is so well-organised as the BCT. Office functions are very straightforward to carry out as previous and current staff have very thoughtfully created multiple document templates as well as a very effective index system to easily find those templates. Everyone who works there is very conscious of conservation issues (they are passionate about what they do), are friendly, and happy to help each other, and new comers. Staff often socialise by going on pub/park outings after work. BCT make a point of doing appraisals and take this aspect very seriously. They are very interested in getting staffs' honest feedback about their experiences of working there, and ensuring that staff are happy, and are developing in their roles,. The senior staff are very open-minded, caring, and are keen to make improvements where possible. I was there for three months (a seasonal post). However, I was able to apply for two new positions which opened up during that time.

The office environment is very friendly and welcoming. People are genuinely passionate about the cause they are all working towards, which really makes all the difference. Management encourage a healthy work/life balance and the working hours are reasonable.
