Southwark Council Response

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on Glassdoor - we hope you enjoyed your 10 year + career with Southwark and we thank you for your service! We're delighted to hear that you really felt there was commitment to the local residents from our staff, this is all part of our Southwark Values and commitments to our Residents so it's great to see this shone through. We understand your view on restructures and that it can be unsettling and feel unnecessary but this situation would only occur after having undergone a vigorous process before being agreed upon as a course of action. We also offer full support to any redeployed staff as a result of a re-structure, as we help them to find an alternative role within Southwark. We hope this helps, Best wishes, ~Southwark Council

Pros

Diverse workforce and environment. Community minded with strong visions and ideas to improve the lives of those in the borough and beyond.

Cons

Strong and knowledgeable leadership not present in certain areas, therefore lack of direction and support. Reluctance or slowness to address failings in workforce, as a consequence improvements in areas clearly identified do not take place.
