Fostering support worker Review

Working with young people who are cared for by the Local authority. Supporting them with emotional, health and well-being. 20% off the job time spent either studying or shadowing social work teams.

Reflective practice, social work theory and intervention.

I look forward to the days when I am in university, learning a new topic which relates to my role.

Extremely well organised, full year handbook given at the start of the year with the subject and module information, assignment dates and lecturer information.

Part of my monthly supervision is set aside to discuss my course, also have another member of staff who is my mentor and receive monthly sessions from them.

MMU are very supportive, mentor provided by the university. Disability support and package provided. Lecturers are friendly and available to speak to and get hold of via email.

Helped to improve my confidence and understanding particularly of the social work theories. This compliments the work that I was already completing and the reasons why they are done in a particular way.

No.

Yes

A good employer who listens to staff members thoughts and ideas.

Take a holistic approach to the job description of a role.
