You never stop learning but there is always
progression to be had within social work.
3
00:00:09,059 --> 00:00:11,658
It's a very flexible qualification in that way.
4
00:00:11,754 --> 00:00:15,886
You need to have a real
passion and drive to do it,
5
00:00:15,886 --> 00:00:19,858
you need to have a
curious and inquiring mind
6
00:00:19,858 --> 00:00:24,593
you need to like learning, you need to
really love working with people.
7
00:00:24,789 --> 00:00:29,266
That ability to really put yourself into another
person's shoes and really understand

00:00:29,266 --> 00:00:34,169
where that where that person
or family or child is coming from.

00:00:34,556 --> 00:00:41,054
Your starting point has to be your belief, your
understanding, your value of human beings
10
00:00:41,184 --> 00:00:44,268
and that your social
work skillset can grow
11
00:00:44,268 --> 00:00:46,952
and develop throughout
the whole course of your career.
