Department of Social Development Reviews

 

Best training mentors available to assist me

My overall duties were to conduct administrative work that included checking whether the salaries received are correct and corresponds with the time sheets provided by employees. I would be involved in checking and uploading of daily time sheets. I was also part of the recruiting and selecting process.. My relationships with my co-workers was professional and we understood the importance of working together as a team. I enjoyed the fact that each day I learnt something new withing the organisation and the fact that I received support from my mentors and supervisors. The most difficult aspect about my job was dealing with grievances within the workplace and we needed to be neutral and keep issues like these confidential

Pros: Opportunity to learn new policies
Cons: Inability to get placement after completing the internship

Great social work exposure

The department of social development exposed me to 8 programmes (children, families, victim empowerment, substance abuse, disability, older persons, crime prevention and HIV/AIDS) which gave me an overview of a social work in practice. Out of these programmes, i then chose the "children and families basket" which i practiced for the past 5 years. I am not yet, an expert, but i am beyond an average practitioner

Pros: great employment benefits (e.g. subsidized vehicles)
Cons: Compromised professional standards
