Amy is in her first year in Manchester and says “My manager is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, approachable and nurturing. This creates a happy work force and drives up social work practice. My manager is what I would describe as a perfectionist and is very thorough and this suits me to a tee. I too aspire to be like her. She gives great oversight on cases and has me thinking both on my feet and outside the box, and I have learnt a lot under her to date. I feel safe under my manager”
