Description
Richard Wills' memoir, Bloody Social Worker, offers a unique insight into the world of social care. Spanning 32 years, this book chronicles the author's experiences as a social worker, from his childhood in Cumbria to his final resignation in 2020. Wills shares stories of the people he met, including those who "perplex and amuse", and invites readers to look at complex individuals with fresh eyes. Through his narrative, Wills tackles the serious issues faced by society, but also reveals the lighter side of his profession. His story is both informative and humorous, making for a compelling read. With its honest and emotional tone, Bloody Social Worker is a fascinating peek into the world of social work. Aidin Martin and Mick Ferry praise Wills' ability to balance the darker aspects of his work with "wonderful, deft touches of humour". This memoir is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the social care sector, or those looking for a unique and thought-provoking story.
