I'm offering
I am highly motivated with 18 years experience working as a Qualified Social Worker in a wide range of adult teams. I have worked with various client groups and more recently I have done more specialist roles, I am very organised and pay great attention to detail. I am able to build up relationships with a variety of different people from different backgrounds and I am able to keep detailed records which are essential for the role.
As part of my counselling training, I worked with people who had mental health issues problems and with young men who were ex-drug users, who had recently been been released from prison. I am always enthusiastic to learn, undertake new challenges, work well under pressure and meet deadlines
