Best thing
My team are a great support and willing and keen to help with workload
Worst thing
Work expectations are too high and requests to manage workload ignored. Management are self centred and willing to take the hard work of the team as they own reward. Management literally say I don’t know what you do so please can you ask someone else!

Best thing
The children. They are amazing. Also the other members of staff in the team we all work really hard.
Worst thing
Management don’t care at all. The seniors are all very patronising and never get their hands dirty and if we are short staffed they will take on the bare minimum of the easiest jobs. Mostly they sit in the office all day.
