Northern Health Employee Reviews for Life Skills Trainer

I have enjoyed working with mental health and addictions clients but the field is constantly changing with more psychosocial rehabilitative practices being put in. This has been both a good and bad thing as some earlier practices were put in place for reasons and many things have been changed back when we found the new practices were not working out. There have been many challenges along the way. I work in a 24 hour facility and it seems to be often understaffed so if someone calls in sick it is not unusual to work a 16 hour shift which can get quite tiring. I would prefer not to work such long hours. I feel I have learned a lot from the job but might like to try some thing in a different location.

Great Place to work

Life Skills Worker (Current Employee) - Prince George, BC - 19 March 2018

Great team and open communication between staff and management. Great work hours. Not a lot of options to pick up extra work in the community. Prince George is a great community to work in.

Casual Life Skills Worker (Former Employee) - Terrace, BC - 12 June 2017

Excellent workplace but I was unable to get on as a full time regular employee and could not rely on Casual hours to pay the bills. Good structure and management was very fair and helpful
