Aftercare

Aftercare provides a GREAT working environment: you can work your hours flexibly (I am never there past 5, often leave at 4.30 by starting earlier). You can in this way get an extra time in lieu day every month. There is leave loading too.
Every staff member is on a 12 month contract, this is because of the way aftercare is funded. In general, if you do a decent job then your contract will role over, year to year.

I worked for Aftercare for several years. It was the worst place I have ever worked. I have never been in such a unsupportive work place. Everyone was out for themselves and nepotism and favouritism was everywhere. The CEO left recently so perhaps the organisation can improve but definitely a lot of work to do, terrible work culture.

I've worked in Aftercare for 3+ years now and have been impressed by the workplace culture, and senior management. I've worked over multiple sites and have had great opportunities to advance into different roles. 

I have been able to travel, work with mentors and develop clinical skills in a supportive environment. 

The team culture is something I really value - everyone I've worked with has been hard working, honest and able to chat to.

I love Aftercare what can I say.  I loved my job of supporting people living with sever and complex mental health conditions.  I just became frustrated in being 'stuck' in the same role and although there was help offered it was always in the distance.  I had planned to stay with Aftercare as I love their values and ideas but we all need to grow and become the person we know we can be.

Met a variety of clients with mental health issues. Learnt how to manage a variety of situations and individuals. Management was informative and encouraging. workplace culture was like a family atmosphere. everyone helped out.

Clients: great
Other workers: unmotivated
Management: Beyond terrible

Bullying of staff is rife. Clients come last. Nepotism and favoritism is everywhere in management. No communication at all between management and staff. Extremely low staff morale.

Aftercare as the lead agency for Ipswich Headspace is TERRIBLE. There are long standing management and staffing issues, a history of staff bullying, financial problems, little or no regard from senior management to front line staff.

I felt most times you were doing more paper work then looking after people. They come first and their needs. But overall I learnt a lot and im grateful for everything I got positive from this job and wish everyone the best.

Worst working experience of my life. The less you care, the more the management like you. Inexperienced management who do not care about the clients. They just do mental health so probably won't survive the ndis, which is possibly a good thing.
