I completed a 3 day trial at leyf Stoke Newington. While I had a great connection with the children including successfully settling a crying child who was grieving for home to the point he specifically waited for me after my break and wanted me to sit with him at lunch, the feedback I received was disappointing. I was told I lacked passion, a vague reason that didn't align with my success with the children. Communication was poor, my follow up calls and texts were ignored for a week, only to be told I should 'reapply in 6 months.' If you are a mature, calm, or introverted professional, be aware that this branch may prioritise a performative energy over practical care results.
