Browndale treatment homes for emo tionallydisturbed children in Barrie appears to be on the rise since flareup over working conditions early in September between staff and manage ment At that time 17 employees resigned in protest against ex ceptionally long working hours without time off which was caused by inadequate staffing as well as the loss of decision making among the househeads in charge of each home In the past month househeads have regained their decision making powers and parttime help has helped take some of the pressure off the regular staff allowing them at least one day off week but both staff and management agree the number one problem is still the lack of adequate staff Dave Haynard househead at 102 Bayview Drive says ideally each house should have staff of three but his house is the only one with such staff compli ment Most of the other homes have staff of two he says and one house has single staff member all of which means househeads have to put in duty in homes other than their own There are about 20 staff vacancies in the 13 homes and the money has been budgeted to hire them Maynard says but the problem is finding suitable people You cant go out and drag people in off the streets he says and we are not getting near the number of people com ing to observe as we should Potential employees spent about three days observing the operation in the homes and in turn are observed by househeads and staff who then make recommendations to management on whether to hire the applicant or not Management has never been shy on hiring people says Jim Wiley Browndales area coordinator for Barrie but it is always problem finding those who are capable of doing the job He says it attracts mainly young people with lot of energy looking for something to do but not all realize it re quires full commitment We ask as many people to leave as ask to leave themselves Wiley says They are just not emotionally capable of taking care of children with special needs The staffing situation has im proved since September however he says and hopefully the vacancies will be filled within month But both he and Maynard agree the staffing problem is further compounded by the nature of the job itself which is not likely to change Househeads and staff act as if the town surrogate parents to children who range from ages five to 17 in an attempt to the examiner Saturday Oct 13 1919 13 Browndale centres day off you usually ended up sleeping the whole day long weekend is an unheard of luxury he says and it is still very difficult to find the time to visit family or friends You still want to hold onto relationships you have but with one day off it is difficult Its not case of adapting the job to suit your lifestyle but rather the other way around he says and there arent that many people willing to do it Maynard believes the com bination of long hours and salaries about $9800 per year to start is the main deterrent to applicants for the job Most staff members agree and some say the salary works out to about $1 an hour Maynard says although the nature of the job is not going to change higher salaries might be the additional incentive needed to attract the right kind of person who might be staying away Wiley however isnt sure that big salaries would be the answer to the organizations staffing problem You might give yourelf more of screening problem by maintain as much as family setting in the home as possible But as Maynard points out parents to not work ninetofive and as result the staff in no Browndale home are strangers to 17 or 18hour day At one stage says Maynard the workload became so heavy that time off became not mat ter of days but hours It was really little too much he says and if you got Man fined $400 for
