Good to recently capture some of the great feedback our social workers are receiving in Oldham for the work they do with our residents every day. Includes an important recruitment message at the end too!

Imagine not having full control over your own living conditions and lacking the funding or support to do anything about it. Imagine feeling powerless to give your children clean air to breathe. Feeling hopeless that things will never get better. I've seen it firsthand and it's a real problem. I need to ask you a favour. Remote areas don't have the same kind of access to the services they need to keep their living conditions healthy. Those services are too far away, too expensive or both. I've developed an Indigenous training program to empower these communities to fix their homes and buildings. It also opens the door to career and business opportunities. This is where you come in. Let's make a difference together. Tag all the housing managers, pre-employment services managers, and band council members you know. This program is the way to building stronger, healthier, empowered communities so let's continue spreading the word. https://lnkd.in/giHrm2Js #indoorair

"Social Housing: More Than Just a Job" As someone who's been deeply involved in both the social housing sector and recruitment for over two decades, I’ve seen firsthand how these two worlds intersect in powerful ways. It’s not just about placing people in roles—it's about finding those who are passionate about making a real difference in communities. Social housing is more than just managing properties or resolving tenancy issues. It’s about transforming lives, providing stability, and offering a chance for people to rebuild and thrive. That’s why recruiting the right talent into this space is crucial. We need individuals who understand the unique challenges and rewards of the sector, who are committed to supporting vulnerable groups, and who can navigate the complexities of housing needs with compassion and resilience. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with exceptional professionals, from housing officers to tenancy support workers, all playing a key role in strengthening our communities. The impact these roles have is immeasurable, and finding the right person for the job is one of the most rewarding aspects of what I do. If you’re working in social housing or recruitment, I’d love to hear your thoughts: What are the key traits you look for when bringing someone into this sector? And for those already in the field—what keeps you passionate about your work? #socialhousing #recruitment #hiring #housingjobs

Before embarking on the noble journey of becoming a social worker, one must carefully consider the weight of the responsibilities that come with the profession. As a social worker, one is tasked with advocating for the welfare of individuals and families, often in challenging and complex situations. It is crucial for aspiring social workers to possess strong empathy, compassion, and resilience. Effective communication skills are also essential in building rapport with clients and collaborating with other professionals. Furthermore, social workers must be prepared to navigate a system that can be bureaucratic and at times frustrating. Patience and the ability to navigate red tape are key qualities for successfully advocating for clients in need. Ultimately, I believe and feel becoming a social worker is a rewarding yet demanding career path that requires a commitment to continuous learning and growth. Those considering this profession must be prepared to face challenges head-on and make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. #socialwork #advocate #empathy #compassion #resilience #communication #patience #learning #growth
