I am interested in staff development in social work with adults in local authority settings. I have been a registered social worker since 2008 and I have worked as a senior practitioner and as a manager in both specialist and generic complex case-work teams. I am a qualified Approved Mental Health Professional and Best Interests Assessor.
I have obtained funding from the NIHR DLAF scheme that funds people based within local authorities and supporting services to undertake a PhD and professional development within their current setting.
