Comments from our colleagues
Read about the positive experiences of members of our team.
I have been working in the Through Care Team/Looked After Children’s Team in Hounslow for four years, and during this time I have been encouraged and supported by my managers to progress within 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 which appears to be a real need within the service, and something which I am very interested in.
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 WorkSmart, 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.
