Caitlin Endley

I am a compassionate and motivated newly qualified Social Work graduate from Stellenbosch University with three years of supervised practical experience gained through university field placements in child protection organizations and old age care institutions. I am skilled in case management, risk assessments, report writing, case documentation, referral processes and community development interventions. I also demonstrate a strong understanding of social work ethics, multidisciplinary teamwork as well as client-centred practice.

Therefore, I am committed to empowering vulnerable individuals, families, and communities through professional, ethical, and evidence-based social work practice.
