I'm Jessica Thompson and I am an Advanced Social Worker within Through Care.

Coventry has been really good for me in the sense of my own progression and I felt that I've been offered really good management and having good management I think reflects on your own work and a few comments that I've been given over time by my family and friends is "are you sure you're a social worker?" "You look dead relaxed and...and your job looks quite easy and obviously it's not an easy job it's a very complex job but, because of the support that I've got from my manager, I feel like that it is easy I don't have to panic because if I am panicking I'm calmed down quite quickly and my managers sort of got that robust of support so I really I really thank Coventry for that.

I would encourage social workers to come and work for Coventry because coventry to me is where the heart of social work is. We'd want to progress you as a social worker, we would welcome your open arms, there's so many team-building opportunities the training is absolutely amazing there's always something pretty much every week for you to be booking on to I've realised that because I've got a family of my own Coventry have supported me to raise my own family as well as being a professional and I feel like that this is the support is there no matter what you're going through the management around you just support you through that and then make sure that you ain't out of your depth with anything we're all one big team really so come and work for Coventry!
