Pros

I was lucky enough to learn from an outstanding manager before she left. Good career progress if you white/ Caucasian (which I am not)

Cons

Terrible pay, long hours, no staff retention. The young people are not prioratised the share and stake holders are. Negativity and bullying from higher management.

Business Outlook

Pros

I have had the pleasure to work at both Heather and my main house Martha. I have been welcomed in and given all the support I could ask for from my manager John Jordan. I am very happy in my role and feel that I have a voice to express opinions safely and feel heard.

Cons

I honestly have no concerns currently, maybe in time i could identify, however it has been a very positive experience thus far.

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely rewarding, 1-1 interactions, close knit team, support and help from all of the team, family orientation and ability for progression.

Cons

Poorly paid for the work involved. In small schools TA’S do nearly as much as the teachers but paid a lot less. TA’S are very much under appreciated. We actually teach lessons, have much more contact with the students and have as much paperwork to complete such as induction logs and EEPS.
