A genuine charity with core values which match what they do. A very welcoming working environment with colleagues and managers who work together to support vulnerable people, and work towards tacking household poverty. They pay a decent wage for very worthwhile work.
Cons
Can't think of any, it is genuinely a great place to work.

Pros
An organization focused on the future. In a corporate transition and hoping to add value to the families, young people and children they support.
Cons
Emotional, tiring work for those who are passionate about serving a social cause.
Barnardo's really helps people across the UK and I was lucky enough to see this first-hand.
My immediate managers were supportive, loyal, and responsive to their team's feelings.
I admired my colleagues a great deal: they were all dedicated and hardworking.
Flexible and responsive to work-life balance requests.
Cons
There was a great deal of disillusionment about the new employee contract and the consultation process surrounding it.
The consultation seemed forced and many employees - including managers - felt pressured to agree to the conditions despite misgivings.
