Perpetua
Social Worker, AAD
I am proud to provide support for children and families in the borough. Working with the families to find solutions to problems and enabling the children to reach their full potential with plans and outcomes. The job satisfaction is very high when I feel I am making a difference.
The part of my job I enjoy the most is visiting children and their families, and doing direct work with the children, finding about what they like to do, where they like to go, what they need help with, what they want to learn.

Adult Social Care Policy and Strategy Lead
The work is fast paced and at times pressured but varied and interesting with real opportunities to make a positive contribution to the lives of the people we work for.
Working in hospital discharge social work is all about being part of the multidisciplinary teams in the hospital and linking people to the services and things they need in the community.
A hospital admission is a major event in anyone’s life and our roles as social workers are to support people to get through that and to help them to achieve safe and timely returns to their lives outside of hospital. It can result in major changes and adjustments for the people we work with and their families and friends and each event is unique.
Every day at work is different with fresh challenges. We work as a team, giving and getting support from each other and in an environment that supports professional learning and development.
