Catherine has been with Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) since February 2016, where she initially joined as a social worker. Since then, Catherine has progressed to the position of Registered Manager, and she currently runs one of our ‘outstanding’ children’s homes. Catherine talks about passion, creative freedom, doing things differently and what it takes to run an outstanding home. *** We’re currently building more Children’s homes in Oxfordshire, so that we can rehome children closer to their family roots, friends and the locations they’re familiar and comfortable with. We’re looking to hire more Registered Managers like Catherine, to help us deliver outstanding care in these new homes.

Karina Boorer is a Social Worker - Team Manager for the Social Work Professional Development Centre. Karina came to OCC as an International Social Worker in 2018. She started in Family Solutions Plus, Didcot and was promoted to Senior Practitioner and now she’s a Team Manager. View our vacancies in Children’s Social Care: https://lnkd.in/eNFef6kf “I feel extremely lucky to have been able to progress as quickly as I have. Much of that is testament to the environment OCC creates, there’s a real ability for people to progress. One of the reasons for that quick progression is that you don’t just have to stick in one role, we’re encouraged to develop our skillset and share knowledge across different areas of children's services. There’s a real camaraderie between our social workers and we have a really supportive culture. From what I’ve experience, that permeates across departments within children’s services, and that makes transitioning across roles so much easier. *We encourage applications from international social workers, and we’ll be hosting online webinars to talk about the benefits of working in Oxfordshire shortly.

Indoor Air Quality: Turning a Pilot Project into a Learning Opportunity Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a complex public health issue impacted by everything from household products to damp homes and even outdoor pollution. On Clean Air Day, we launched a pilot program offering residents the chance to rent air quality monitors. Here's what I learned: Collaboration is Key The program thrived thanks to partnerships with SHARE Oxford, Sustainable Wantage, and our library service. These collaborations fostered a wider reach and enriched the project. Learning from (Almost) Everything The wrong link in a 30,000-recipient email – a hiccup, yes, but one with a silver lining! Over 340 people clicked through, and 90 completed a survey before even renting a monitor. This, along with insights from a science fair at University of Oxford, Begbroke Science Park with Share Oxford, confirmed resident interest in indoor air quality. Key Takeaways * Residents care about indoor air quality and are eager to learn more. * Collaboration is a useful tool for extending reach and test of your idea. * Mistakes offer valuable learning opportunities – unexpected data can be gold! https://lnkd.in/eukEyQFv
