Department of Community Safety Reviews

 

Daily routine

A typical work day is starting at 7am arriving early get things ready for the day. Once my supervisor comes in we have a meeting for daily activities to be done. I have a very strong inter personal relationship with people in a work related manner and get along with people very well. What i enjoy is that i complete every task as inportant and always give it my best. Challenges about my job, because i am working in project management, M&E we work on a system hence when the internet is not working we are held behind hence we always try to be on par and plan ahead and finish our work on time and ahead of time

Pros: Having to work with highly motivated and talented people
Cons: The system sometimes gives us trouble and we then have to work with what we have, on hard copies then afterwards submit on system which creates twice as much work and chances to make mistakes are high

Working with communities

Dealing with quires from the communities and understanding the mandate of the department and its principle make things easy to deal with stakeholders. we have target to reach and deadlines to meet, sometimes it becomes hectic and we need to drop everything that we are doing just to tackle something which urgently needed.

Pros: Project administration
Cons: 8 Hours
