Devon County Council Reviews

I worked for 7 years in various admin / office roles and NEVER progressed beyond the band I entered on. It's very rare for there to be a next step (such as a supervisor or officer level) I did achieve the next bay band once as a temporary secondment but then that of course didnt extend to permenant due to funding. I was constantly told by my team and my managers that I could be so much more but there was never a role / opportunity to do so. After 7 years I left for a lower paid role elsewhere but that atleast will give me a career ladder to go up!

Useless supervision systems because few options for development unless you are good at the interview system. Management cliques. Most teams will not see your current skills can be transferred to another job at the company. Flexible working is very variable depending on your team. Some departments more resistant to making reasonable adjustments. Difficult to see the company as truly Disability Confident. No real choice in the section of teams in which you are placed. Often restructured.
