    What’s it like working at Safe Steps?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Safe Steps is praised for its dedicated and hard-working staff who feel their work is meaningful and allows them to make a difference in the community. The organisation has a great collegiate culture and offers great flexibility and benefits. However, the work in the family violence sector is acknowledged as being demanding and tiresome. Some reviewers indicate there are not enough staff to handle the workload, with poor management and a lack of support from leadership also mentioned as potential challenges. A few reviews also note little sense of teamwork in certain sections, and that the facilities are OK but could be improved.
