Supportive council, but union help often needed - Assistant Headteacher Bury Council Employee Review

Really interesting and insightful Learnt a lot during my time there

Non everything was positive and I learned a lot

- Work colleagues are wonderful

- They take away flexible working. - They don't hire enough staff to maintain appropriate staffing levels to manage the job and instead expect the current staff to add more to their workload when they are already stretched to the max. - You advise you need help to department leads to get a referral for wellbeing health services and nothing is done about it. - They restructure every fews years and change the job and amount of people needed for the department just enough that they make you re-apply for your job each time and give you uncertainty about being able to keep your job despite having a 'permanent' job. - They don't honour long-standing working arrangements the help you manage your work/life balance in order to be able to keep your job when it comes to restructures. - Training is practically none existant.
