3 questions for your social work career

Vicki: Social Work Sorted
About this episode

Whether you are applying for your first role in social work, getting prepared for interviews or thinking about a move or change, this episode includes 3 key questions you can ask to get clear on what you need.

Inspired by the seminars I delivered at the Shared Future in Social Work Conference, this podcast is for students and newly qualified social workers, but I also talk about the way I helped 2 very experienced social workers as well.

The next Compass event is The Social Work Show in Manchester. You can find out more here.
