Comments from Barnardo's IT staff
"I have found Barnardo's to be a very easy place to work as they are 'family friendly' and when you have children, things like flexitime are invaluable."
"I also think there are very good opportunities for personal development. I started in Children's Services and since then, I've been able to move to IT and get involved in lots of different things and been able to train as a developer. I doubt if you would get such opportunities elsewhere."
"It is also one of the friendliest places I've ever worked and all the people you deal with on a day to day basis are helpful and people get on well with each other."
"Benefits as I see them: Working for a successful good cause, many learning opportunities, easy to move within and throughout departments to increase experience, good pension, challenging work."
"I think the Professional Development Scheme is a good perk, it at least ensures someone remains focused on your development and this is reviewed at regular intervals. It also gives you the opportunity to get involved in British Computer Society forums, courses etc. that can be good experience and enable you to meet useful people."
