Frankston City Council

Frankston City Council, at least the part where I worked as a trainee, is a place full of happy, easy-going people that work hard and get the job done.

A typical day at work included- 

Piecing together the upcoming e-newsletter
Drinking tea until it poured from my ears
Once a week/ fortnight staff meetings
Proof-reading documents
Taking notes during events & typing up those notes at a later time

At the Council I learned patience, time-management and organisational skills that I try to maintain.

The co-workers, in the department I was based in, were full of life, happy to have a laugh and a good chat. Very easygoing and friendly, they really did make you feel welcome.

The hardest part of the job was definitely the long typing up after an event as there would be several A3 sheets filled with writing that was barely readable to type up. 

The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be the friendly, welcoming feel and going out to work with the community.

Night shift start at 10pm finish at 7am l was in charge of 36  patient low care  patients,  worked alone but had security came around twice at night, l also had a direct line to security. I would give out night medication in a wepstar pack for several patients. We had all cultures of patients and there was discrimination from staff or patients. The hardest part of the job is working by yourself and not having a staff member to converse with. The most enjoyable part was when patients we unwell and had to be hospitalised and seeing them come back well again.

Sub culture in many teams is great however huge staff culls and poor executive management have seen morale plummet to the worst I've seen in my professional career. 

Job security is poor and the low wages do not attract any new staff of calibre. 

Currently operating as a 'penny rich pound poor' organisation, poor decision-making is costing ratepayers dearly in loss of efficiencies and wastage in other areas. Staff are under resourced and under enormous pressure, are set up to fail and made to feel like there is a witch hunt after them at every given moment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
When I had a good manager who had faith and understood my vision

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When my manager left and I got a new manager, which did not agree with what I was being delivered and shut down the program. For the past year, a lot of staff put a lot of effort into it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic environment too many managers

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Generally, with the team I looked after we had a great time


Stared on high note however soon experienced manipulation and favouritism.  Every work day will be stressful, bare minimum support . Mostly people are highly disheartened and lost motivation. Just a JOB. Can lose self identity and self worth.  Barely any communication or support. Poor management.

I am out on the road most of the time


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
bullying with in the company and they are so good at it that you find it hard to prove

Not good and not a lot of training available

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
On the road most of the day not within the company

Every day for me was a good day, I went to work did what I had to,help where I could, got a lot of support from management as well as
team mates, there was at times you get stuck
but there is always someone around too help.
Best part of the day is when you know you have done the best that you can at the end of the day.

Do the work well and you can run your own race.

No stress, do the job that is asked of you and there are no issues. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Ok in some area depending on the team manager.

Frankston City Council was surprisingly friendly as an intern, my favourite part of the day was working with the Animal Management Unit; as well as debriefing with a qualified lawyer about the day. 
I thoroughly enjoyed working and learning from the solicitor I was working under at the time. 
I genuinely would not have been opposed to working there full/part-time.

I worked here for 3 years as a direct care worker, where I  received all the support and training I needed to be able to perform my job. I love the way they operate providing the care services to their clients, so that there's no confusion about the nature and the length of the service scheduled. Everything is well balanced and organised.
