 COVID-19 has massively impacted the way we work, both with our customers and as a team as well. I'm used to going into people's homes and care homes to assess face-to-face, and for the last year we've been mainly doing this via telephone calls and video calls too, which can be really tricky at times, especially with some of our older adults that we support. What I feel most proud of is supporting the children through the pandemic and still delivering support that is being required and even more so because a lot of behaviours of the children I support have become more challenging. In terms of what gets me through the tough days, I'm just really impressed with the team and how much their support of each other found it a really positive experience. Working from home has meant that I've had to make a few adjustments in my own home to ensure that I was able to work effectively and efficiently. I've been spending the majority of my year working and this is actually my bedroom. I've managed to set up a small desk and a chair. This chair was actually from the office and West Sussex were able to give us quite a bit of equipment when we started working from home. I know some of my colleagues could have taken some desks or monitors to make the working from home a lot easier. I've met my supervisor for walks and we've had weekly team check-ins on video calls. This kept me updated and gave me an opportunity to meet my team. We've found new ways to support each other and keep morale high and keep the focus on the job and the way we've done this has been really humbling. As hard as it is for us, it's never going to be as difficult or as hard as it is for that child who needs our help. For that child who every day wants things to be better and just needs the opportunity to tell someone and for someone to act. I'd recommend a career in social work as you will never get bored. It's very rewarding and every day is different.
