Employees at Premier Youthworks appreciate the opportunity to work with and help young people, making a positive difference in their lives. They also value the supportive colleagues and teamwork, as well as the good pay and benefits offered, including competitive salaries and penalty rates. Some reviewers highlight the work-life balance provided by rosters like the four-on-four-off system.
However, there are potential challenges raised, such as issues with management, with some employees feeling unsupported and decisions being made that prioritise profit over the well-being of staff and young people. Additionally, some feel there is a lack of adequate training and support, particularly for dealing with challenging behaviours. The work itself can be emotionally demanding and stressful when working with vulnerable young people.
