    I would not recommend this organisation for those seeking a supportive and progressive work place.
    The good thingsThere are not many great things.
    The challengesOverall, my experience at the organisation was challenging due to a workplace culture that felt quite rigid and, at times, unsupportive. There was a strong preference for traditional, “old school” ways of working, which made it difficult to introduce new ideas or adapt to more modern approaches, particularly in areas like digital and strategic marketing. Decision-making at the management level often lacked clarity and direction, which impacted team alignment and made it difficult to execute work effectively. Strategy would frequently change or feel underdeveloped, leading to inefficiencies and frustration within the team. The role itself involved a high volume of repetitive or low-impact tasks, which limited opportunities for growth, creativity, and meaningful contribution. Combined with limited autonomy and a lack of open communication, this made it challenging to stay engaged and motivated.

    Opportunity to use your skills to make the world a better place
    The good thingsIt's wonderful to work in an organisation alongside a group of people who are passionate about making the world a better place for the poorest of the poor - people living in poverty with a disability. I've had the opportunity to visit CBM's field projects, and it's inspiration to witness the difference that we make through our work. CBM are also supportive of hybrid work - which means I have great work-life balance.
    The challengesCBM's staff worked remotely during Covid19, and continue to enjoy hybrid working arrangements. This means we have to make an extra effort to stay connected to our colleagues and maintain our great CBM culture.

    Service Adviser

    1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    What could have been great was horrid in the end.
    The good thingsThe interaction with contractors - clients
    The challengesManagement and management, not a great idea to treat staff as 6 year olds and keep saying you are over staffed - this creates insecurities with staff.... training was attempted but the follow up and ongoing development non existent ....trying to force people into conversation and interacting during breaks.... dictating what you can and can’t do during breaks..... great business idea just needs a mature and level headed management team.

    Loved working at CBM
    The good thingsWorking at CBM is like being part of a big family. Management are very supportive and there is plenty of opportunity to grow and move into different departments and areas. There is also opportunity to be involved with volunteering at events outside of CBM as an advocate for inclusive development with persons with a disability.....it's a great place to work!! Salary packaging helps to boost your wages
    The challengesTrying not to put on weight as the staff themselves cater for birthdays & celebrations to support each other
