What are support workers saying about pay at Barnardo’s?

  • Best thing

    It's great going through the bags of donations and sorting through can be very rewarding. It is a diverse job and as long as your colleagues are good it's great.

    Worst thing

    Management have overwhelming expectations for productivity. You dint get paid to be in store early to set up and to clock off. It's difficult to get your full hour for lunch which you are not paid for. The role is quite demanding for the pay, you are expected to do alot and it's not worth it. A store associate is expected to be able to do everything the manager is and will be expected to cover the manager when required. For no extra pay. Even managers pay is not great. Would not recommend as a career

  • Best thing

    Coworkers, interesting stock to sort through

    Worst thing

    Skeleton staff, expected to recruit volunteers to make up hours, expected to work more than contracted hours with no pay, huge workload and unrealistic targets leading to not being able to take breaks
