‘I value the teaching and learning I get and how I can give back to families’

“I could easily go away, do agency and get double what I am getting paid now but I see the value in the richness of the experience and the learning,” says Clare, a consultant social worker in Oldham Council’s assessment and intervention team in children’s services. “I value the teaching and learning I get, and how I can give back to the families.”
Clare is one of several practitioners benefitting from Oldham’s commitment to upskilling its workforce.
