Pros

As with most charities, good people exist in teams across the organisation.

Cons

There is a dictatorial, toxic leadership with little questioning from the trustee board. Regular redundancies due to poor financial budgeting and monitoring. CEO and senior leadership don’t listen to the experts under them. Only join at director or head level if you don’t mind being squashed and ignored.

Pros

Fantastic role, truly a wholesome welcoming company and a fantastic charity to work for. Everybody I ever spoke to within the Charity was absolutely lovely to talk to. Best work/life balance I have ever experienced, truly a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Our team specifically ended up being understaffed and unfortunately due to decisions higher up, we ended up receiving very minimal support with both our day to day work and our own career progression. We were promised training and certain funding which never ended up happening even after over a year. Concerns were raised very early and could have been avoided if our voices were heard. Otherwise, perfect.
