A Shropshire-based senior social worker has been named Team Leader of the Year for Adult Services at the Social Worker of the Year Awards 2024.
Sue Bunker, who works for Shropshire Council, was awarded Team Leader of the Year for Adult Services at a celebration event for social workers in London on Friday, 8 November.
Each award category is judged by an independent panel of social workers, people with lived experience, and senior figures from the world of social work. In flood-hit Shrewsbury, Sue developed strong relationships with local agencies and has often been the first to respond to individuals in crisis. She actively supports her practitioners out in the field and has regularly spent hours ensuring vulnerable residents have the care they need.
