“Being a Social Worker from overseas and transitioning and working for the first time in the UK, I felt respected at every level from Day 1. Now, almost a year in, I feel my skills and training are being utilised in a way that matters to children. 

GCC is a great employer, and everything is systematic. They are also a very humane organisation who support their employees. 

I am supported by regular supervisions, and on-the-job, as well as parallel trainings. 

I have good relationship with my managers and teams which helps regulate my caseloads according to my capacity at the time. We hang out outside of work as well, to play squash or grab a meal after a particularly long day. It is these little things daily that make me feel supported.
