Summary:

"Becoming a Social Worker" tells the story of thirteen social workers living and working in the UK; what has brought them into social work and what has kept them in it since. This book describes what it is like to be a social worker in different practice settings, what it is like to be a social work manager and what is happening in social work education. These accounts set out to make social work visible, so that those considering a career in the caring professions can make an informed choice about whether social work is the career for them.
