I had the opportunity to shadow a social worker, gaining a deeper understanding of the profession and its impact.

I worked with Aaryanna Reid at Warren James and I’m happy to recommend her. Aaryanna is hardworking, reliable, and easy to work with. She always got on well with both the team and customers, and she handled herself professionally even when things got busy. She’s the kind of person you can depend on to get things done properly and help out when needed. Working in retail can be stressful at times, but Aaryanna always stayed positive and approachable. She’s friendly, organised, and works well with others, which made her a really valued part of the team. I honestly think she’d be a great addition wherever she works next, and I’d definitely recommend her for future opportunities.
