Varied, rewarding work. Safe employment very low risk of redundancy. Makes a big difference to people. Opportunity to work all over the country.

Excessive administration, too many guidelines to follow, risk of litigation, toxic high-pressure working environment constantly driven by political targets and non-evidence based new guidelines.

Pros

Great sense of purpose and meaning in the work. Colleagues are genuinely dedicated and supportive. Good variety of tasks day to day, and you gain a wide range of clinical and interpersonal skills quickly. Job security is a major plus.

Cons

Staffing levels are often stretched thin, which puts pressure on everyone. Pay hasn't kept pace with the demands of the role. Management can feel disconnected from frontline realities, and communication from the top down is inconsistent.
