Pros

You make a difference to local communities and help save lives. Four day working week, annual leave entitlement and other benefits are significant pros especially for an SME in the third sector. Amazing colleagues who are passionate, skilled and dedicated to supporting and helping others. Wider support offered to workforce is incredibly valuable.

Cons

The role, specialism and sector is not for everyone so it is important to be open and ensure Harmless is right for you (as a prospective employee) as much as you are right for Harmless. When it works it works really well and can be incredibly rewarding but when there is misalignment it can result in mutual issues. Harmless is still a third sector service so systems and equipment other organisations take for granted are not always readily available due to funding. That can be problematic. There can be short periods of high pressure and demands which can be difficult to navigate but is much more manageable if you use the support on offer and are open with management.

Thank you for your feedback. We are incredibly proud of our teams and the vital work they do in the community, so we really welcome your comments. We are equally pleased to hear you value the wide range of support and benefits that we offer. We also agree that Harmless can be a great fit for a lot of people seeking to make a real difference. However, it does come with its unique challenges as you rightly note, and we recognise our organisation is not for everyone. That said, we believe an open two-way dialogue helps overcome these issues. Please continue to use your voice at Harmless to drive and influence change, and help us celebrate successes.

Thank you for your feedback. We agree that Harmless is a good start for people early in their career. Equally, we are really pleased to launch Harmless’ new pay framework, a new tiered reward system that looks to provide opportunities for progression and growth; reward specialism, performance, and service length; and offer a transparent, clear, and fair reward structure. We also appreciate your feedback about our management and leadership team. We believe we have skilled, compassionate, and empowering managers, who are all committed to ensuring our workforce are best placed to do their roles. That said, we will continue to support all levels and use employee feedback to inform positive changes at a leadership level. We wish you well in the future.
