Supportive and meaningful workplace - Early Interventionist The Growing Academy Employee Review

Worked here for about a year before leaving to further my studies. Overall, it was a good learning experience. The bosses are approachable and work closely on the ground with the team, not just managing from afar. I've personally seen them step in to help with tasks when needed, which reflects a strong team culture. Colleagues are supportive and easy to work with. Even though I was only there for a year, I learnt a lot from them. Compared to other centres, there are more opportunities to build your skill set as both ABA and El approaches are used. There are regular in house trainings conducted by internal trainers, as well as mass trainings where you get to interact with colleagues from other centres. This was helpful for exposure and growth. The centres are also clean and well maintained, which creates a comfortable working environment

Parents can be quite demanding and expectations are generally high. There is also a strong emphasis on hygiene and keeping the centre neat and tidy, which may require extra effort and consistency from staff.

- Can learn a lot as a beginner (Group therapy and 1:1 ABA), good starting place to work - Good colleagues, it’s a fun and relaxed environment, management will back you if parents are difficult - 1:1 therapy timings are not as strict as some other places, more leeway to do admin - Given a few days off throughout the year

- Not much career growth/ salary increment - Existing lesson plans need to be modified/changed to suit the children but not enough time to do so during work hours
