Professional Experience: |
I will not try to 'wow' you with some amazingly elequent sentences and a list of target-based numerical achievements, because I am simply a normal guy who is smart, hard working, quick to learn and loves to constantly grow and develop as a Professional Social Worker.
My passion for Social Work stems from a deep desire to promote Human Rights, Equality and Social Justice and I am motivated and driven by core values and ethics to enable and promote the best possible outcomes for service users in need of assistance, support and social care; primarily through a strengths-based and empowering approach.
I am not only able to adapt to, but am strongly motivated by the broad range of challenging situations that arise with individuals, within families and their surrounding networks.
I am looking for my next exciting opportunity and am keen to develop and expand my knowledge and skills within the Social Development/NGO/Humanitarian area as I feel that I can fully utilise my passion for true Social Work within this area. I have spent a lot of time periodilcally in Bangladesh over the past six years and am particularly interested in opportunities within the country; preferably in Dhaka or Khulna.
