Pluspunten
This is NOT a review written by a disgruntled ex employee. It's written by someone who loved the job and was an incredible advocate for the ESF Funded Making A Difference program. The plus, if I can dig deep, is the 30 days holiday...... If you actually get days signed off!

What a nightmare charity to work for. I felt as though I was being picked on by my Line Manager and asked for a meeting to discuss it. I was sacked for being 'difficult to manage'. They talk the talk about mental health and wellbeing..... But they dont walk the walk. Team members are often working 10 hour days and weekends to keep up with the reports and admin - all for the grand sum of £21500 a year. Employment Coaches are being forced to cold call unemployed people and try to 'sell' the benefits of the Making A Different programme just to hit targets. Sacking within your probation is standard practice. Within 6 months of starting the program they had sacked 1 Manager and 2 coaches - not bad from a team of 17. A further 3 Coaches resigned within 4 months. So, it's up to you! But perhaps look elsewhere.
