Kasia joined Devon County Council as a Family Practitioner in 2016. While working in Children’s Social Care, she completed her degree with the Open University, combining study with hands-on experience. Since then, she has continued to develop her career with us, progressing through our career pathway and now leading as a Team Manager within the Children and Families team. Kasia said: “If someone had told me that I’d be leading a team just a few years later, I probably wouldn’t have believed them. But that’s what’s possible when you’re given the right opportunities and the right support. I’m incredibly proud of the journey I’ve been on, and I’m even prouder to now be in a position where I can help others begin their own.” Interested in joining our Children’s Social Care team, visit: devon.gov.uk/workingfordevon… #TestimonialTuesday #DoItForDevon #DevonJobs #WorkingForDevon #SocialCareJobs #ChildrensSocialCare
