?? My Journey: From Dreaming of Becoming a Doctor to Helping Others as a Remote Specialist ?? As a kid, I always had big dreams of becoming a doctor because I wanted to help people, especially considering my own experiences growing up with a disability. Life took me on a different path, and although I didn't become a doctor, I found a way to make a positive impact every day. Now, I'm super proud to work as a Remote Specialist, contacting the Social Security Administration on behalf of law firms, giving real-time updates on disability claims, and helping American citizens access the benefits they deserve. Even though this journey wasn't what I initially imagined, I'm grateful for where it took me. Working remotely from Nigeria has been a fantastic opportunity. It allows me to provide top-notch services at a lower cost for firms while maintaining quality. And you know what? I love what I do. Whether checking the status of claims or assisting in the appeals process, I've discovered that this work is my true calling and fits perfectly with my desire to help others. To all the law firms and organizations looking for specialized support, I'd be thrilled to connect and see how I can help streamline your processes, save costs, and genuinely make a difference for your clients. Let's make a positive impact together! ???? #RemoteWork #SSDSpecialist #DisabilitySupport #LawFirmSupport #RemoteOpportunities #CostEffectiveSolutions #SocialSecurityDisability https://lnkd.in/dhW8mG6b

People with disabilities often struggle to find meaningful employment as many of our skills aren't captured in a traditonal sense on a resume. So here's a reminder of several unique skills that we bring that can be highly valuable in the workplace: -Adaptability: Learning to navigate daily life with a disability often requires creativity and adaptability, making pwd well-equipped to handle change and think outside the box. -Problem-Solving: pwd may have developed strong problem-solving skills, finding innovative solutions to challenges that arise due to their disability. -Resilience: Overcoming obstacles and facing adversity can build resilience, a quality that employers should value highly. -Empathy and Inclusivity: pwd experiences may make us more empathetic and understanding, fostering a more inclusive and supportive work environment. -Communication Skills: pwd might have honed the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, especially if they use alternative methods of communication. -Time Management: Managing health-related appointments and daily tasks can enhance time management and organizational skills. -Attention to Detail: Navigating accessibility needs might make pwd more detail-oriented, ensuring tasks are completed accurately and thoroughly. -Technological Proficiency: Using assistive technology and other tools can enhance proficiency with various technologies, making pwd a valuable asset in a tech-driven workplace. These skills not only contribute to personal success but also add significant value to any team or organization. So next time you see a person with a disability, like my friend, Lily, please don't dismiss the resume. You may just be losing one heck of an employee! #DisabilityPride #Workforce #BreakStereotypes

Independently advising the family courts about what is safe for children and in their best interests, we speak up for over 140,0000 children and young people every year ensuring their needs, wishes and feelings are heard. In short, our role is to be their voice. After Ofsted Inspectors spoke to over 300 staff earlier this year, they shared some amazing quotes - visit What colleagues said about working with us Cafcass to find out more and details of our event where you can hear from some of our social workers and managers. While we are proud that Ofsted judged us to be 'outstanding' when they inspected us in early 2024, we haven't come this far only to come this far. This outcome has energised us to just keep getting better at what we do for children and families. If our purpose resonates with you, we are recruiting for the role of Family Court Adviser (Social Worker). Whilst this role is part of a team based from our office in Grays Inn Road, our teams work flexibly and remotely, your proximity to the office doesn't always have to be a critical consideration.

The Cafcass Social Worker, often referred to as Children's Guardians, is typically involved with the child across an extended period carrying out relevant assessments to understand their needs, wants and feelings, and effectively communicate this to the court through a combination of written reports and giving evidence.

Confident in your abilities, you'll have demonstrable experience of working with children and families over a sustained period as a Social Worker, potentially supplemented from relevant experience from earlier in your career also. You can find out more about the above - and much more - before you apply and we also recommend you read the job description. Should you join us, you will be trusted to work flexibly and independen

Unfortunately, until the United States government passes legislation that mandates felony convictions be made public only under severe circumstances and does not hinder individuals past three years post-conviction, we will continue to face significant barriers to true rehabilitation and reintegration. The institutions we call “departments of correction” often fall short of their promise. There is neither correction nor meaningful rehabilitation. The reason recidivism rates remain so high is not because individuals aren’t trying to better themselves, but because we have a system that offers little opportunity to those who have paid their debt to society. Imagine serving your time, wanting nothing more than to become a productive citizen, only to be met with a 20-year-old record that blocks you from obtaining housing, starting a business, or securing gainful employment. This isn’t just a discussion for Democrats to have. It is a conversation Republicans and all Americans should engage in. If we are serious about criminal justice reform and reducing recidivism, we must create a system that offers second chances—not one that continues to punish people long after they’ve served their time. We owe it to them and to the future of our communities to ensure that the pathway to redemption is clear.

I feel like I need to mention this to further the conversation on helping people with incarceration backgrounds: To those of us trying to navigate the Re-entry system, it often seems like the impetus is to throw services at us then see what sticks. This may seem like offering help, but is based on what Robert Greenleaf would describe as "Power Over" dynamics, where someone makes the decision FOR the stakeholder, not with. It's a nice idea but not helpful to offer me a host of seminars and programs without knowing my circumstances and needs. When you reach out to offer services, take the time to get to know my unique needs and desires. Don't offer CDL to someone who's still waiting on a Learners permit. Don't offer Clerical training for full-time to a single Mom who needs to take her kids to Daycare at 8 in the morning every day. Tailor to the strengths and lived experience of your clients. Get to know us as people, not results to a funder( Full Disclosure, I used to do Grants, so I know the whole results-driven approach). Allow OUR needs to dictate what services to offer. Be specific. Another thing-Please understand that my scheduling conflicts with your agency don't mean I am lazy, or don't value what you offer, or have a " Prison Mentality". I simply may have a lot to juggle as I do the work of Re-entry. Empathy for the stress of having to get everything done to get everything else done goes along way with the Formerly Incarcerated. So, dear agencies, let's do this the right way! #Justice #Reentry #SocialJustice #SecondChance #Helping

Blog #3 is now posted. This week we look at the transformative role case management software has played in vocational rehabilitation, supported employment, and community rehabilitation. I hope you will take a look and share with your colleagues. I am pleased so many of you have been following this journey. Our next blog will focus on the historical role supported employment has had with vocational rehabilitation and its significant impact on competitive integrated employment for people with disabilities.
