Bullying from both male colleagues, advocacy manager and colleague in the advocacy department.
Management across the board is deeply incompetent. There is no real leadership, no accountability, and no interest in addressing toxic behaviours. Instead of resolving issues, they perpetuate them by dismissing complaints and ignoring the harmful actions of senior staff. This fosters a demoralising, harmful, and completely unproductive work environment for employees. It is shocking and appalling that an organisation supposedly focused on mental health would tolerate, and even enable, such toxic dynamics within its workplace. The lack of professionalism and leadership is a complete betrayal of the values Mind claims to uphold. If you are considering working at Mind in Croydon, particularly in the Advocacy department, my advice is simple: don’t. This branch fails on every level—from leadership to team cohesion—and will leave you feeling frustrated, stressed, and disheartened. It is a disgrace to the wider mission of Mind and is in desperate need of a complete overhaul.
BULLIES WITHIN THE ADVOCACY DEPARTMENT! STAY AWAY.
