The Benevolent Society Employee Reviews for Support Worker

Opportunities to work autonomously and within large busy teams. Many Organisational changes including within management and programs, which at times was very disruptive to program delivery. Workplace culture was mostly positive, however if you did not agree with the majority, especially management, people were generally put on the outer. Where their opinions were dismissed and at times isolated from the other programs. At times the main office was very clicky. IT issues happened weekly if not more, and working in mobile programs this was a major disruption. Some managers were very supportive and were very appreciative and encouraged discussions around new initiative ideas and program delivery. Most staff were offered PD, but again it was as long as you went along with the majority and didn't 'rock the boat'.

Great team, Great Clients

Aboriginal Mental Health Support Worker (Current Employee) - Rosebery NSW - 18 September 2014

I assist clients who suffer from Complex needs, mental health, aged, disability hoarding and squalor. I conduct assessments and reviews, advocate on their behalf, make referrals and enable clients to achieve their goals. I am required to document all notes in our data base. I also assist other Case Managers when needed. I attend interagency meetings, community events and training when needed. My team work well together and we can ask each other for advise and support when needed, The hardest part of the job is that there are so many people that need your help and sometimes we are unable to provide our assistance, Sometimes clients refuse our help. The most enjoyable part is knowing that you are making a difference in someones life.
