Good staff but bad management - Support Worker Linkage Community Trust Employee Review

Some amazing dedicated staff. Stay long enough you can progress from a cleaner/carer to a manager. Incredible learners. Lovely setting. Some kind managers.

Staff stretched too thinly. Far too much admin for lecturers, using ridiculously detailed session plans and schemes of work as standard. Disabilities gradually becoming more severe and staff expected to differentiate and support with no training. IT department overwhelmed and unable to manage the volume of issues. Money spent on pointless tech when staff need laptops. Accessibility for wheelchair users not great which is madness. Not all courses are valued equally. Teaching staff are expected to book holidays as you would any other job so don't work here if you have a child and need the school holidays off, you will not have enough. Pointless training and CPD.

Nice place to work for

Long hours. No time for social life
