Fantastic Training - Poor work life balance - Child and Youth Worker Department for Child Protection Employee Review

Poor work/life balance and limited support. The department's staffing crisis means there is limited staffing consistency in residential care placements. Placements where there are supposed to be multiple YW's on shift are sometimes understaffed meaning YW's have to work alone. The staffing issues also mean that sometimes YW's get stuck on shift if no one is rostered on the relieve them.
