Renfrewshire Council Employer Reviews

Progressed my Housing Career. Time to move on.

Dealing with tenants.

Financial Constraints.

Very busy during month of March, as new council tax bills are sent out to customers. Learned how to work under pressure and on very tight deadline. The hardest part of the job was when post was missing, or filled under a wrong name, as a clerical assistant you are responsible and have attention to details, because if this happens then it delays the – more... assessor on making decisions and clients become very frustrated, the other hardest thing was working on a 3 months contracts, not knowing there will extend it at the end of the period said. The most enjoyable part of the job is when all the applications were logged in on time and indexed for assessors to make their decisions, you kinda felt relieved and very happy for the achievement. overall it was an amazing experience and an honor to work for such a big organisation. – less

RENFREWSHIRE COUNCIL IS A FANTASTIC PLACE TO WORK WITH LOTS OF TRAINING AND OPERTUNITIES.

I always enjoyed meeting and greeting the various people visiting the office to attend a meeting, and it was part of my duty to ensure that they were directed to the appropriate meeting room.I also was responsible for compiling a spreadsheet once a month and learned how to format it according to the managers instructions.I class myself as a peoples – more... person and always enjoyed being of help to all other colleagues when needed. As I was only ever part-time the hardest part of the job was to expand on my work experience within the office where the task wasn't needed till late afternoon.The most enjoyable part of the job was the building of a good rapport with the girls in the office. – less

Sessional work, so it's flexible.
Child Day Care: keeps one on one's toes!
There is NO typical day at work; that's what makes it unique, just like each child we work with.
Every day I work humbles me. I learn alongside the children and my colleagues and this makes me appreciate the variety of people in my life and the opportunities and experiences they – more... enrich me with. If this seems hyperbole, I'm sorry, but I genuinely feel each work day deepens my learning and increases enthusiasm for working with children's services.

The downside is setting up each day due to amount of equipment. This is more than made up for by the pleasure of seeing the children (and often, the parents) develop.
Even the paperwork's a challenge that encourages constant evolution of learning. – less
