“I have loved every job I have had as a social worker.”
“If you’re looking to become a social worker do it because you have empathy. Don’t do it just because you want a job. You need something inside you that really cares about other people. It has to be a profession you really want to do.”
Jane Payne joins us on the podcast for a look at what a day in the life of a Social Worker is like. Jane’s most recent role was as Programme Director of Home from Home which is an NGO for cluster foster care, where foster mothers look after 6 children per foster home. Growing up in England, Jane wanted to become a social worker. Moving to South Africa she studied a BA degree at UNISA. Jane also studied social work through UNISA and has been involved in social work for 35 years. We take a look at Jane’s remarkable career.
