  • Presenting evidence at court and professional meetings where required.
  • Supporting and mentoring less experienced social workers, students, and ASYE practitioners to promote best practice and professional development.
  • Contributing to service development, peer learning, and continuous improvement initiatives across the safeguarding service.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
