These are just a few of the things that people have searched the internet for that have led them to my blog. I have not included the general ones or the ones that I will use as the idea behind future blog posts.
| what happened to andrew ellery social work student | I graduated and as far as I know, nothing else happened 😉 |
| should i be a social worker | Only you can really answer that question. It very much depends what it is you want from a career and what you feel you can offer other people. |
| regret social work degree | This is such a shame to read. You shouldn’t ever have regrets. Even if you decide social work isn’t for you, you have developed an incredible knowledge base. |
| andrew ellery blog | Welcome, you’ve found me J |
| people that shouldn’t become social workers | Well, anyone that doesn’t want to be a social worker really. Any anyone who has committed offences against vulnerable people. Some offences committed against anyone can also block someone becoming a social worker. Universities and regulators assess this on a case by case basis. |
| how to deal with a student social work placements | First of all you need to speak to your university tutor or placements officer. If you are still unhappy try and get a meeting together with your university and your placement. If nothing improves consider using your BASW, Union, or College of Social Work membership to see if they can support you. |
| does social sciences include social work? | Yes. |
| where can i get access to a careers services? | School, college, National Careers Service (available online, phone, email, face to face etc). |
| degree needed to be a social worker | You will need a recognised undergraduate or postgraduate degree in Social Work. This must be approved by the professions regulator (Health and Care Professions Council). Speak to the university to ask if it is an approved professionally qualifying social work degree. |
| when do you get a reply from social work interview | This varies from university to university. Be patient; they will reply. |
| people i come into contact with as a care worker | Social Workers, Care Managers, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Art Therapists, Psychologists (of various kinds), other Care Workers, Support Workers, colleagues internal to your organisation, District Nurse, GP, Consultants, Paramedics and Ambulance Technicians, Informal Carers (family and friends generally), Nurse, etc etc. |
| common induction standards workbook – answers | It is your employers responsibility to sign you off once you complete the workbook over the 12 week induction period. Don’t look for generic answers and yours should be specific to your organisation. |
| what other jobs can i do with my social work degree | I have known people with a social work degree to go into business, counselling, careers guidance, student welfare, human resources, change careers, consultancy, independent social worker, various jobs in private and voluntary sector, trade union roles, research. The skills and knowledge is applied in a range of settings and roles. |
| what do universities consider to be social work experience | Voluntary work (group work, one to one work, policy/campaigning, fundraising etc) with vulnerable clients, or representing vulnerable people (people with disabilities, mental ill health etc), marginalised groups (LGBT community as an example). Paid work experience (care work, support work, assistant social worker, personal assistant etc). Also if you have personal care/support work experience perhaps as an informal carer for a friend or relative. |
| is a first class degree in social work worth anything | An education is worth something for everyone. A first class degree should academic potential. It is something to be proud of. |
| sample letter for ending relationships with service users social work | I really would hope that if you were going to be sloppy enough to write a letter you wouldn’t use a template found on the internet. |
| how many people have degrees in social work | Loads. It is hard to tell as not all are registered. The Health and Care Professions Council will be able to tell you how many registered social workers there are in England. Other regulators will be able to help regarding Scotland and Wales. |
| andrew ellery reading university | I have never published where I am based or what university I attended. You are correct, I went to the University of Reading in Berkshire. I was in the last cohort of students who graduated from their very successful social work course. It was absolutely devastating when we received the news that it was not of strategic importance to the university. |
| mental health “need their hand holding” | Whilst it is true that many people, at some point in their life, need some direction and guidance, I wouldn’t say people with a mental health illness need their hand holding. Many people live a perfectly ordinary life without any intervention and have a mental health illness. They are people not ‘mental health’ and it is people that can need support, care and guidance. |
