Will be involved in Child protection, children in need, reviews, meeting parents multi agency plus work with children.

I'm usually jeans and leggings, so need massive restyling. It's for 6 months so looking for a versatile capsule working wardrobe that does not include jeans Ts or leggings.

Not much budget, show me what you got...I'm 5"4 and about a size 12 to 14. Feel more confident in dresses when need to be smart but no heels, though trousers will be practical in most circumstances ill be working in.

I work in a very similar role (Learning Mentor).

Winter work wardrobe comprises various dresses, worn with leggings or thick tights and biker boots. Usually a blazer or chunky cardy. I accessorise with scarves and big jewellery- bangles, big rings etc.

I like H and M, Henry Holland at Debenhams, Zara and occasionally Topshop.
Hth, and good luck with the placement.
