Finding caravans for sale

by John Graham I have worked in the social service industry for several years. Through the years I have worked in large and small agencies and I have worked in the private as well as the public sector. Each agency has advantages and disadvantages. In larger agencies they tend to have the social workers specialize in one certain area whether that is adult services or child services. If the agency serves a large population then you specialize within those categories as well such as mental health, protection, developmental disabilities or physical disabilities. Regardless of what area you specialize in it is helpful to know how to access all services.

At this point in my career I am working for a private agency serving people that have been homeless. In order to qualify for the program you have to be staying in a shelter and one person in the family has to have a disability of some sort. Also we serve families where at least one person is under the age of eighteen. This is a challenging case management position because I need to know a wide variety of services. On any given day I can do everything from report child abuse to helping people find transportation. A few weeks ago one of the clients had saved enough money to be able to but a vehicle. He asked me to help him locate caravans for sale. He had under a thousand dollars to spend. The program is located in a rural area so we needed to find caravans for sale within a fifty mile radius of the program so that I would not have to spend a great deal of case management time driving him all over looking at different vans.

We entered the criteria that he was looking for. He wanted a caravan because he has owned them in the past and he knows they have reliable engines. He is a tall man with a bad back so the van is an easy vehicle for him to get in and out of. We found three caravans for sale that were within twenty miles of the program. Two were for sale by private owners and one was at a used car dealer. We made arrangements to see the three caravans for sale and he selected the one with the lowest miles. He was impressed with the way we had been able to use the internet to access the vehicles. He was also glad that I knew what questions to ask regarding transferring of titles and other things. I never know what skills or knowledge I am going to need when I go to work in the morning. At times this can be frustrating, but it keeps the job from being dull.
