Working as a registered nurse can be tough at times as expected however my colleagues are all very supportive. The pay should be higher and we should get more benefits

Organisation Culture

AO3 (Former Employee) - Ipswich QLD - 6 January 2020

The location I worked at was awful. There was a lot of bullying and nepotism, and there was nobody there you could complain about it to because each step up the rung was a bestie of the person below. Staff are leaving left, right and centre - that is, those who are not in the right clique - and those who can’t leave and are left behind are taking excessive sick leave and extended periods of leave for stress complaints it is not a nice place to work, which is a shame because the pay, job security and work/life balance are great

Good job however shifts uncertain

Nursing Assistant (Current Employee) - Ipswich QLD - 3 March 2018

Able to pick shifts and the number of shifts each fortnight. However, this shifts can be cancelled within an hour of start time. Clinical skills , people skills and time management have been required. Work environment is supportive. The most enjoyable part is being able to work along side supportive and friendly people and also, being able to brig joy and a helping hand to those less fortunate.

Supportive, pay

Cons

Shifts cancellations

Fantastic service

Administration Officer (Former Employee) - Ipswich, QLD - 22 January 2014

Everyone just got in a did it. It was implicit that the client came first, and that is what we did. I learnt that we should never judge, well I knew that anyway; most people just need to be listened to; I couldn't hope for better management than this particular service - bare in mind that when I was working here, it was a non-government service- and it was an inclusive and collaborative style of management. The style was particularly attractive because it empowered women to speak out and express themselves in many wonderful and artistic ways, for some, the only way they could express themselves at the time. That kind of service is priceless.

Pros

Job satisfaction

Cons

Loss of the service as an NGO

Great team work

Assistant Coordinator (Former Employee) - Ipswich, QLD - 22 January 2014

Friendly, we were all a "family". And family included the boss. A typical day included frantic changes, more unexpected changes and then a chance to share a quick cuppa with my team. A typical day was never typical - it can't be when you are supporting people. The hardest part of the job was when we started losing funding and had to "trim" services. The best part was working with the lovely team I was in and the wonderful things we achieved for the clients. I am not sure I will ever find that again, but I live in hope!
