Pros

Hard working staff team, friendly colleagues and free lunches

Cons

Profit focussed company with poor regard for staff. The use of the Bradford factor here is really bad. You can be genuinely unwell, and still have your pay capped for the following year. I knew I was signing up to support pupils who display challenging behaviours, and I have lots of prior experience in that field. Nothing prepared me for the shocking behaviour systems and paper pushing work load. The use of blooms taxonomy to assess children’s learning is also not great. It was all a valuable experience, but overall demoralising, disappointing and something I won’t return to. I became so rundown and mentally unwell here. Countless injuries with nothing done about them. There’s also frequent malice between staff which was at times, perpetuated by management. Additionally, the breaks are shocking. 20minutes!!! They really stick to legal minimums at WG when it suits them!
