00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,999
My name is Claire Beattie and
I'm an Assistant Team Manager
2
00:00:02,999 --> 00:00:06,031
in the Early Help and
Assessment Team in Monmouthshire.
3
00:00:06,149 --> 00:00:08,952
I think Social Workers
need to be understanding,
4
00:00:08,952 --> 00:00:12,768
they need to be flexible,
they need to be calm
5
00:00:12,768 --> 00:00:15,127
because we deal with
a lot of pressured situations
6
00:00:15,127 --> 00:00:17,498
so it's important around
maintaining a calm mind.
7
00:00:17,556 --> 00:00:22,033
I think they need to be
open, honest, very organised,
8
00:00:22,033 --> 00:00:23,680
you need to have a level of humour.
9
00:00:24,339 --> 00:00:27,069
If you feel that you are
a compassionate person,
10
00:00:27,069 --> 00:00:29,700
I would consider a job in social work.
11
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:33,676
I think whilst it comes with its
challenges, it is a very rewarding job.
12
00:00:33,974 --> 00:00:39,342
I think it's a job that gives you a level of
satisfaction, stability, security,
13
00:00:39,342 --> 00:00:42,543
but it also allows you
to work in a team full of
14
00:00:42,543 --> 00:00:46,955
like-minded people who are
doing the best that they can.
