9: Southern NSW Local Health District Employee Reviews

I have worked for SNSWLHD for around 8 years now and have always had the greatest time working with others and building up great relationships that will last a lifetime. Great environment to work and always happy coming in everyday!! I have had great career progression within this organisation and would recommend to anyone wanting a career in health.

Pros

great friendships

Cons

some days can be challenging but it is a given within public health

Excellent Team work

Corporate Services Manager (Former Employee) - Queanbeyan NSW - 28 August 2022

The team was a pleasure to work with - had good work life balance. The system/process/procedure was a bit slow and changes wasn't always easy. The support from the management and team was very appreciative.

Great staff, terrible management

Enrolled Nurse (Former Employee) - Kenmore hospital NSW - 25 March 2021

I worked for this service for over 25 years & was terminated on medical grounds. When the termination occurred, I received an email from my unit manager demanding I return my keys & uniform ASAP. That was it. Very cold & uncaring which is typical of the SNSWLHD. Management do not value their employees. I would never recommend anyone take a job with this service. You’re a number. Most management are a joke & care little for their employees & moral is usually low.

Pros

Shift work

Cons

Way to many to mention

This Health Organisation is rife with bullying and intimidation - Executive Management is deplorable that further demoralises it staff

I would not recommend applying for a job with this LHD Management practices are deplorable and this demoralises your moral not to mention the bullying and intimidation that is condone at all levels

Friendly work environment but sadly apathetic

Senior Project Manager, Program Management Office (Current Employee) - Southern NSW - 23 January 2018

Long tenure employees with little or any desire for change. Senior management not ready to embrace change so therefor no real leadership. New CE as of November 2017 with strong credentials and will try very hard to achieve change needed.
