Why did you become a social worker?
From an early age I have always enjoyed working with and supporting people. My end goal has always been to support people to make positive changes in their lives.
At the age of 16 I worked in a residential home for adults with learning disabilities and continued this with children for a few years. Since qualifying I have worked in front line Child Protection Teams and the Youth Justice Service which has given me great knowledge within these areas.
Three tips for our ASYEs:
- Always be reflective for future learning and development and never be afraid to ask for help.
- Treat everyone as you would like to be treated.
- Do not forget why you chose to do Social Work
