You may also find it useful if want to re-evaluate your career in adult care or just want to know more about how it all works. It is an easy-to-read book that will enable you to think about what is really important to you in a career.

There are many ways that you can really make a difference to people and take on a leadership role. This book is intended to ignite your ambition to do so and direct you to the most appropriate area in the sector, which might be in a local council, working for a charity, managing a commercial company, getting involved in policy at a national level - or quietly setting a great example to your peers, colleagues, clients and their carers. Social work student, Sophie D says: "Your book is very valuable for first year social work students. The interactive-ness of the book helped me immensely. A great read " David Brindle, reviewing this book in The Guardian, writes: this "idiosyncratic guide ... draws on interviews with achievers in public, voluntary and for-profit care services, setting exercises for the reader to self-assess suitability to follow in their tracks."
