Pros
- The pay is decent for charity sector, particularly if you’re on a market premium (high staff turnover means that some jobs at the NSPCC are recruited with market premium salaries) - Some of the people I met were really nice - The library in the office is just great, as is NSPCC learning
Cons
- Equality, diversity and inclusion are big in the org strategy, but it’s not clear whether this is being implemented properly within teams. I left my job because I was facing indirect discrimination but my concerns were dismissed. - The working culture can feel quite corporate and serious - Work-life balance is not great - They lag behind other charities in attitudes to flexible working. E.g. there are no core hours, and there’s an expectation that your life outside of work shouldn’t impact your productivity or ability to manage your time workload, even if you’re facing significant health issues.
