It’s such a shame!! - werkgeversreview Substance Misuse/Recovery Worker bij Forward (UK)

The pay, not competitive with other local social care roles, it has a direct impact on low recruitment rates and high staff turnover as staff cannot afford to live on the low wage, many staff are forced to move on to higher paying jobs to keep up with the ever rising cost of living. High case loads due to short staffing, staff are stretched over their capacity trying to accommodate a large amount of clients into their diary to meet engagement targets. We simply do not have enough staff hours to cover the amount of appointments needed to manage such large caseloads.
