Good professional staff who cared about their clients.
Mental Health Support Worker (Former Employee) - Stones Corner QLD - 28 December 2020
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedWorked as a casual support worker. They had a great system of buddying you up with another experienced worker to allow you to get to know the clients and their needs.Pretty full-on pace to keep up with as you travelled to different clients and locations daily .Keeping up with paperwork and transfer onto clients' computer records could have been allocated more time.I enjoyed my time there. The staff were professional and caring.
Pros
Good work culture
Cons
Too much admin work and not enough time to do it.

Centacare Catholic Family Services.
Teaching Assistant (Former Employee) - Ballarat VIC - 10 July 2021
It is quite shocking to know that an organisation that relies on volunteers in its Teaching Literacy and Numeracy program chooses to outsource jobs. The people in charge of running the aforementioned program are so heavily reliant on volunteers that a Catholic Nun who has had a stroke had to carry the weight of the burden.
Pros
Free Tea and Coffee.
Cons
Heavily Reliant on Volunteers, Outsource Jobs without Offering to Employ Volunteers.

Poor work / life balance
Personal Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Ningi QLD 4511 - 8 April 2020
Poor work / life balance I did get my certificate 3 in Aged Care & Disabilty though I also enjoyed working with clients. The downfall was not enough time with family

I was a Volunteer.
Volunteer (Former Employee) - Belmont Qld - 10 December 2019
I was a Volunteer.
I helped with picking up Clients, a mix of elderly and Disabled.
We would have morning tea at the centre, and then quite often go out somewhere for lunch, and come back to the centre before taking the Clients home.
Due to a company restructure, I and other Volunteers are no longer required.

Fast paced, rewarding work
Disability & Aged Care Support Worker, Part time (Former Employee) - Brisbane Northside QLD - 19 November 2019
I would recommend working for Centacare, they were really professional and made sure I was well trained and felt confident in the job before sending me out to work in the community.

Not for me
Disability Support worker (Former Employee) - Private - 17 October 2019
This company was not a place I personally enjoyed working. the other staff were great and the clients too. I left and found a new job I enjoyed a lot more and that is all I will say.

Great work opportunities but challenging management
Case worker (Former Employee) - Adelaide - 26 August 2019
Was great working with clients and other workers. Felt unsupported and bullied by management. Unrealistic expectations on workers. Continual funding issues so no job security.
Pros
Clients and other workers
Cons
Culture of bullying

Family friendly workplace
Administration Assistant (Current Employee) - Adelaide City Centre SA - 3 January 2018
This is a great organisation to work for. Most of the staff create a warm and friendly environment. The managers are caring and flexible. The salary sacrifice option is rewarding.
Pros
Salary sacrifice

I believe to hold a position is the Social Service sector should always be client focused, however did not find this the case with Centacare.
CASE MANAGER (Former Employee) - Adelaide Metro SA - 6 November 2017
Working along side of clients could be very challenging, however in saying this absolutely rewarding.
I learned appreciating my life and assisting those that were not so fortunate for what ever the circumstance in their lives at present I was there to support, assist and most importantly to empower all persons from different walks of life.
I believe upper management was not always client focused.
Continuity for funding or lack of it, is a large part of the role.
Working alongside of clients to empower, support and assist.
Empowering others to make informed decisions and positive choices in their lives.
