We recently had a Student Social Worker join us, and once their placement ended they said: As a first placement student, who had no real experience of working with young people with any kind of disability, it was quite daunting for me to come to the Team. However, every single member of the team not only welcomed me, but also helped me to feel comfortable, ask questions, and feel supported. Not once did I feel like someone was too busy to help me, or that a question I had might be a silly a question. Everybody has helped me to grow my skills to work with the young people, and allowed me to observe and shadow them, to let me learn from their practice. I feel like I am leaving this placement with a wealth of knowledge, and having learnt something from everyone in the team. If you too would like to work in a supportive team like this apply today!
