Episode 0: Introduction

Hi and welcome to Social Work Spotlight, a podcast created to showcase the wonderful and valuable work being done by Social Workers in Sydney, Australia. I’m your host, Yasmine McKee-Wright, and each episode I will interview a local social worker to showcase diverse areas of the profession and what kinds of fields we specialise in. We will touch a little on social work education and foundations, although this podcast is aimed at non social workers who may just be interested in what we do, or for those who might be looking for a career change. This is Episode 0 - the podcast introduction, with the first episode scheduled for release on April 18 2020. For each episode I will post a transcript as well as links and show notes in this description section, for you to continue reading on a particular topic if you wish. My first three guests are at different stages in their careers, and come from diverse areas of motor vehicle accidents, traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, and inpatient hospital work and education. You can continue the discussion and ask questions of myself or my guests by visiting the podcast website at anchor.fm/socialworkspotlight or find me on Facebook at Social Work Spotlight Podcast, on Twitter @SWSportlightPod, on Instagram at socialworkspotlight_podcast, or you can email [email protected] I’d love to hear from you, especially if there is a particular topic you’d like discussed, or if you yourself are a social worker and would like to be featured on the show. Subscribe to this podcast and check back for more episodes. I will aim to release a new episode every 2 weeks. Thanks for tuning in! Thanks also to anchor.fm for hosting this podcast and to Kevin Macleod of incompetech.com for our theme music.
