"I am an Integrated Social Care Manager with Gloucestershire County Council. It’s ISCM for short and it means that I’m the manager of 1 of the 8 teams that we have across Adult Social Care operations.

"I came into Social work to help people. I’m naturally quite nosey and inquisitive so I suppose some of my natural skill set lent myself to that. Now as a manager, I’m still helping people, not necessarily frontline myself anymore but I’m still helping support the teams of people that are going out." - ISCM, Cotswold Locality Team
