Not what it used to be

Pros

Half decent cause to work for - you leave working knowing you have done something good. Training is above average and the team clearly know their stuff.

Cons

Staff turnover rate is high. This is because of poor pay - even for the industry - and a seeming unwillingness to address core issues within the organisation. Current staff members are very frustrated by a progression system that seems to reward the wrong type of people. Bullying in the organisation is sadly common and higher ups either do not care or do not have the time to assist you. Staff often take time out with stress because there is little support and they feel unable to cope. I have also known some members of my team to receive food bank donations while working here.

Pros

There are great perks if you work in the right location there are a few enjoyable activities and the service users make this job acceptable.

Cons

Poor pay. Money first, care later approach from manager. Poorly managed and stressful. Partially down to funds being cut, but can still do more.

Pros

Opportunity to learn more about autism, a fascinating disorder. No shortage of jobs. The clients love talking to you and you get to see their progress on a day-to-day basis.

Cons

Clique atmosphere, especially in Oak House. Some of the office staff are very rude and condescending, particularly to autistic clients on placement there. No understanding of organisational function, little accountability. Bullying is rife. Pay is low. Communication between different houses is very poor. In the COVID situation, some have taken very lax approaches to the pandemic, leaving clients (who are physically vulnerable) at severe risk. An overrelaynce on underpaid staff to raise funds for the 'charity' as well as work long hours.
