Deeply Disappointing Experience - Avaliação de funcionários no cargo de Teacher na empresa Compass Schools

Growing company, has many divisions and offers good opportunity

Hours can be more than contracted ones and process are not always well defined

The amazing young people you work with there and the relationships you build with them, therefore allowing them to be able to trust you is what is so great and worthwhile. Being able to make a difference to those young people, and see all their achievements big or small and celebrating that with them. Overall learning from the young people themselves.

Overall Staff safety is not at the forefront and the effects on your mental health and wellbeing are sadly not worth it in the long run. After being there a couple years, I felt mentally and physically drained, as much as I loved the young people I worked with, it was all to much, with so little support by management, and I often struggled to feel heard throughout my time there. The staff team is forever changing, including relying heavily on agency staff, which again affected staff safety and often put more work load on permanent staff. There were to many changes within the school, such as curriculum, classes, structure of the school. This was often without informing staff in advance or asking staff about these changes. I regularly did much more than I was paid to do as a TA, doing jobs that HLTAs or even teachers would be doing, and sadly was not getting paid for it. Little chance for development, the only time I was offered anything was when I handed my notice in, and by that point it was far to late.
