Please tell us about your average day.
At the moment things are obviously strange as I am working from home, I will generally have a few appointments/meetings/webchat/a catch up with the team and will make sure that I get away from the laptop for a short while and go up to the garden.
What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
The less you talk the more you hear. So when I am with service users I just let them talk as much as they need to, you gain a lot more insight in to their lives and issues that way.
