Mark Willis Email & Phone Number

I've been in social work for over 35 years. I began work in 1984 as a residential and day care worker with people with learning disabilities. In 1987, moved into child care work as an assistant social worker before qualifying with the Diploma in Social Work seven years later. Further to this, I worked as a social worker, senior practitioner and team manager within local authority social services departments. I also spent a year co-ordinating child protection training for a large social care department, developing two academically-accredited training programmes on child protection risk assessment. In 2000, I became a self-employed Children’s Guardian representing children’s interests in over 100 cases in Kent and Essex.In 2004, former business partner Andre Palmer and I established WillisPalmer, noticing the need for more highly skilled independent professionals within the sector. Over the past 20 years, it has grown to be the leading provider of multi-disciplinary services in the UK. In 2012 I established Think Therapy 1st, a specialist rehabilitation occupational therapy service providing high quality assessment and treatment to clients throughout the UK. www.willispalmer.comwww.thinktherapy1st.co.uk
