Chamberlain International School

Hours are not actually guaranteed. During downtime (breaks/summer, etc.). Hours do get cut as the students are not always there. Management is a complete mess.  From the top to the bottom. Workplace environment can occasionally be rewarding with students. Morale is frequently low. Houses are old and dingy. Student -Staff ratio is not always met. It’s not the work. The work is simple and often easy. It’s the management team. Distant staff leaders. Standards are rarely met and maintained. Except just a few days before an inspection. Training is just 15 min a month. Designated person reads from a book. Sometimes that does not even occur. I personally see very little room for growth and job satisfaction. Excuses is all that comes from every employee. From the top to the bottom. 

I have worked at the school for over 20 years in several different positions. To me the Chamberlain School is like a second family. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is to be able to meet with new students and families. Over the years I have grown close to many of my co-workers. The Middleboro area itself it a very peaceful town to live and work in. I have grown personally and professionally while working at the Chamberlain school. Many experiences I have had at the school have taught me things about myself and my own family.  The most rewarding part of my job is when I see students overcoming previous challenges and making strides to become happy productive young people.

Chamberlain International School  was a challenging and demanding environment.  Everyday brought an ever evolving set of challenges and learning opportunities.  I learned a lot about self control, communication and compassionate leadership.  A typical day consisted of taking attendance, managing medications, cleaning duties, administrative tasks, waking up the children and implementing morning routines, preparing and serving breakfast before transitioning to school.  The most challenging part of the job was handling behavior related episodes. The most enjoyable part of the job was realizing the work being put in was making a positive impact on the children in my care.

I first started working at the Chamberlain School in 2002 fresh out of the Marine Corps. I learned a lot and was able to work in multiple areas throughout the program. Over the years the program has changed and for the better, The skills I acquired over my first 4 years helped me move on to work elsewhere an advance my career. When my circumstances changed years later they welcomed me back and I have continued to grow as a professional with them. The best part of the job is there is endless opportunity to try different things

Working at Chamberlain is a blessing and curse. The scheduling is all outta wack, consistent callouts, there’s a problem at almost every house unit, some staff are not a cake walk to work with…Only good thing about this job is the activities you get go on w/ the kids but everything else is just not good. Pay is ok but not nearly enough to last long term and this job WILL start to wear on your mental sanity within just a few months and it’s not fun. 

Low pay, for clients that are moderate intensity. Company puts you in position that can get you hurt, or have a permanent record.  
Example clients with high intensity or care should receive such a care,but instead lots of corner cutting. Lots of favoritism, you must fight for the clients you are well verse to working with, because they will switch you clients if they choose . Very unstable, your hours can be cut if they have a good enough reason. 

They don’t gaf about you or the kids. Owner lines his pockets without giving any positive enrichment to the kids. Would rather hold a kid that needs a higher level (or lower level) of care than let them actually grow and heal in a HEALTHY environment. No better than the abuse they came from. As far as staff there is no support, no training, no supervision, no recognition, and you’re penalized for speaking up for yourself or the kids. DO NOT WORK HERE 

Working with students with various mental illnesses is both difficult and rewarding work. Chamberlain is a fairly supportive environment, where management will have your back. Many of the students are a joy to work with. There are certainly difficulties in the job, but it is a wonderful place to work. 

A typical day would consist of supervising children's residential schedule. Take children on activities, food shopping, doing homework, household chores and giving medications. most co-workers were supportive. The hardest part of this position was dealing with behaviors. The best part was when you were able to make a difference in the child's life.

When i first started working at Chmaberlain I was very happy and did not know of all of the deeper issues. You do not get a break even on a 14 hour shift. Other staff are lazy and management expects you to do the work of 3 people for minimal pay. Dangerous working situations especially with certain kids and no support is given and everyone is understaffed, overworked, and underpaid. Do not recommend.
