Comments from our colleagues
I have been working in the Through Care Team/Looked After Children’s Team in Hounslow for four years. During this time I have been encouraged and supported by my managers to progress in my social work career. I am now an advanced social work practitioner specialising in working with young people with special educational needs who are transitioning to adulthood.
My colleagues at Hounslow are friendly, knowledgeable and easy to approach. Hounslow is an authority that actively promotes learning and development as well. I enjoy being able to work smart, particularly as we are provided with the necessary facilities in order to be able to do this effectively. I have the freedom to manage my own diary which allows me the flexibility to draw up a good balance between work and home life.

Advanced social work practitioner
Without Hounslow’s support, I would have not been able to complete my social work degree and be in practice now. I feel valued that Hounslow made that commitment to me to better my future and social work career.
