Abstract

This article is a reflective piece about my own personal experience of frontline social work practice during this surreal time that we continue to live through. The response to the pandemic has brought challenge but has also created positive opportunities for reflection, change, motivation and for me personally, created a re-energising for the parts of the 'job' I had forgotten just how much I missed. By 'job' I mean not my job as a social worker or residential child care worker, but the job of building relationships and connecting with people by just spending time with them.
