In reply to Andy.

Hi Andy

I would not recommend the young man embark on a career in Social Work if he is hardworking, caring , emphatic. conscientious, considerate, analytical.

On the other hand if he is: ambitious above his abilities, and timescales (to learn and reflect); prone to bullying, not analytical, uncaring and wears the Emperor’s New Clothes Social Work may be a good career for the young man because he will likely gain promotion swiftly and rapidly, thus able to place the stress and blame on others of the above characteristics still on the frontline.

In the light of these perennial reports of excessive workloads and high stress levels, would you recommend to a young person (especially a young man) that they should embark on a career in social work?

It has been like this for the past decade at least and feels like it os getting worse with every year that goes past. I dont think this is simply about the pay anymore- it’s LA structures that push everything down onto the front line worker.

None of this comes as any surprise and yet nothing will be done. Working conditions are appallingly, pay is poor for the level of responsibility and risk carried and we are constantly fed untruths by our leadership that things are getting better but they are not.

I will be retiring at the earliest opportunity, as will most of my colleagues. Without drastic changes the situation is only going to get worse for recruitment not better.

Unless we do what the nurses are doing, taking strike action

It is physically impossible to survive in frontline children’s local authority social work. I have been a social worker in a frontline team for just over 3 years since qualifying, recently promoted and am close to burnout. I think of myself as quite a robust person. IMO the only way to rescue yourself from leaving this career completely is to go into something less frontline and I am trying desperately hard to do this.
There is so much risk involved in child protection, this paired with instability in teams, lack of support from multiagency colleagues and ill equipped managers mean it is unsustainable to continue without running myself into the ground and ruining my mental health. My small, South West LA is so focused on rebuilding our worst hit front door teams that the locality teams are falling apart and suffering with senior managers seemingly taking no notice.

And, yet, nothing will change.

Not exactly a surprise from those of us on the front line!
