Here is what our Business Support Officers say about working in Families Children & Learning:
"The diversity of duties and working in Children's Services is what attracted me to the role"

"Supporting my social workers gives me a lot of job satisfaction - I feel like I am really involved in helping families' lives"

"Feeling you have helped a client in the absence of the social worker in trying to sort out their problems. Having an understanding of their case and developing a rapport with some of the parents."

"The part I have most enjoyed about being the Business support Officer for the Pod is how I've felt truly part of the team. Just because I'm business support and they're social workers, they've never not included me in group discussions, supervisions or activities outside of work; I've been extremely lucky to have worked with the Pod"
