  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Workforce Insights podcast, Community Care's career editor Sharmeen Ziauddin speaks to social workers who share their experience of working in the large rural county of Northamptonshire.

    Northampton Children's Trust (NCT) serves one of the biggest counties in England. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, many families became isolated and levels of deprivation went up. The long lasting effects of the pandemic on service users are still being seen by practitioners at NCT.

    Guests Brian Browne and Mason Poore, both in the safeguarding and support team at NCT, discuss the challenges families and young people face.

    They talk about how supportive leadership helps them do their job better and keeps them motivated in their practice.

    Cherise Campbell-Sullivan, a student social worker, is also a guest on the podcast and tells us her experience of her placement at NCT.

    The importance of the visibility of senior leadership and the praise and recognition of doing well in your role, is discussed as well.
