Monalesia Earle
Trainer

“Never hesitate to try new things, even when it’s sometimes easier to stay inside the proverbial box.”

Monalesia always inspires and encourages professional curiosity in people she works with – a vital skill that compels us to ask the right questions and think on our feet to help us unpack difficult situations. For Monalesia, training is an opportunity to give social workers access to the kind of in-depth, thoughtful discussions and information that she has always found helpful in her own work with families and children.

Monalesia has dedicated most of her professional career to developing creative and empowering ways to engage with – and meaningfully serve – the most vulnerable people in society. A strong advocate for children, young people and their families, and educated as a generalist social work practitioner. Monalesia has been able to use her social work degree in multiple and often non-traditional settings. She has practised in three different court systems as a Child Custody Investigator and before relocating to England she was the lead Social Worker in a law firm serving indigent clients. She has also held roles as a front line social worker, a social work recruiter, a senior practitioner and deputy team manager, a Human Resources recruitment officer, and most recently as a workforce development manager in local government.
