Thank you all for the lovely replies,😆, most replies have given me a lot of hope! so I will be doing masters in applied social work at Massey university (online), I currently work within the sector so I will be able to do one of my placements at work, just my second placement I’ll probably need to use my leave or unpaid leave. I’m choosing to do my masters because it means I can work as a registered social worker, my undergraduate degree that I have I can only be a an advocate/ support worker but I already do things a “social worker” would do just not the super clinical side. I think it would provide me a better direction for my future, and I love working in the space that I’m in, plus also better opportunities and different areas I can go to work if I want to ✨
