  • Best thing

    Getting help clients set and work towards their goals.

    Worst thing

    The team is overly competitive and they all have a chip on their shoulder. They will be nice to your face but say something else behind your back.

    YMCA Sales assistant, December 2021

  • Best thing

    The residents I work with, the staff are brilliant, my seniors and managers are great. I get to make a difference to people's lives. We have a laugh and do days out and activities for our residents which is lovely.

    Worst thing

    The worst thing is when other services refuse to help. We can have very vulnerable people that social services, mental health teams, safeguarding, other housing providers won't help us with.
