[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This special episode of The Social Work Community Podcast provides an insight into what social work students and newly qualified social workers can expect from their first job. Led by experienced social work practitioner Curtis Powell, and two newly qualified social workers, Kai Tutton and Lashonte Royal, the speakers draw upon their own experiences of their first roles.

They talk about their respective experiences of their assessed and supported year in employment (ASYE), how they prepared for their roles and how they overcame challenges.

How helpful were universities in preparing them for life as a social worker?

How do they manage their caseload as well as working on the ASYE portfolio?

What is the best way to learn how to write assessments?

Listen to the answer to these and many more questions by watching the webinar on The Social Work Community or listening to the podcast.
