Building a Global Social Work Practice: Pilar's Career Pivot into Independent Practice with Spanish-Speaking Families

Send us a text

I had a great time talking with Pilar Cubelos in this episode! Pilar is a qualified social worker who entered the profession after a successful career in stone masonry. After gaining experience in statutory child and family social work, she pivoted into independent practice during the COVID pandemic. What's truly remarkable about Pilar's journey is how she embraced her strengths to carve out a niche working with Spanish-speaking families and developed a unique social work career that spans multiple countries while living in Spain.
I especially admire how Pilar has taken ownership of her learning and development right from the start, confidently recognising her strengths. If you're curious about independent social work or considering working overseas, this episode is a must-listen!
