Good learning experience, especially since it's a national office

When I started I was coming from a private sector where I was not office bound. I'm not complaining because even here we would travel from time. As we know that we learn more when we travel. I got to learn a lot about report writing, evaluation writing, capacity building, presentation skills are polished because we are forever presenting. Extensive knowledge on adolescent sexual reproductive health and rights, HIV/aids and working with young people. It is also a good environment to work, friendly staff ( hood staff morale), this is not to say we didn't have difference we did but we had our own way of dealing with and resolving our differences and move forward.

Pros: Personal development like trainings, short courses etc
Cons: Not so much promotion opportunities

Excellent learning curve

I render casework, group work and community services to surrounding residents, compile reports about the social factors that are affecting them and refer them to relevant stakeholders such as SASSA offices,SAPS and NGO'S. I have got great working relationship with my colleagues and honour all tasks that my supervisor delegate to me in due time. I have learnt to respect everyone within a work place environment as it enables an individual to enjoy such setting. The most challenging factor is dealing with demanding clients who might even come to the office being drunk. I enjoy adding new ideas and bringing value of the institutional that I'm serving as it makes me grow professionally and personally.

Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: Long working hours
