Rich and Tim introduce 'Messy Social Work' and discuss Rich's blog on reasons for not being a manager

In this episode of the newly named podcast, Rich and Tim discuss Rich's blog; 15 Years in Social Work – And 4 Reasons I am Still Not a Manager.

Rich qualified as a social worker 15 years ago and has never held a management role. This has been a deliberate choice. He has remained working directly with children and families.

There are four key reasons why Rich and Tim unpack.

1. Relationships
2. I haven't stopped learning
3. Leadership isn't determined by job role 
4. Practice experience cultivates wisdom
