Employees consistently praise Social Futures as a highly inclusive workplace that values diversity and creates a supportive, respectful environment. The work/life balance is excellent with true flexibility, and staff appreciate the extensive training opportunities and strong encouragement for career development. Management is generally described as approachable, responsive and supportive, prioritising staff wellbeing and self-care. Employees value the meaningful work in social justice and community service, and appreciate their hardworking, compassionate colleagues. The generous NFP salary packaging and other benefits are also well-regarded.
However, there are some potential challenges to consider. Social Futures is a large and complex organisation with almost 400 employees and 27-plus programs across NSW and Queensland, which requires time to understand and navigate. The organisation is continuously growing and expanding, leading to ongoing change that can be challenging at times. Some employees note that the workload can be busy, though wellbeing is prioritised and flexibility is provided. There are also external factors such as NDIS changes and government funding limitations that impact the work environment.
