QSW Jobs Page

Locum positions can be filled within one hour, for this reason we do not have a jobs page. Permanent jobs are so plentiful it would be unrealistic to advertise hundreds of jobs on one site.

Target Recruitment Countries

We have successfully recruited both UK social workers and overseas nationals from 14 different countries on both permanent and locum assignments. We will accept all qualified and motivated job seekers, and do not specifically target a particular country.

Car drivers

Most employers will require you to be able to drive a car unless you would will be working in the centre of a major city, such as London or Birmingham.  

The DVLA website has more information about driving in the UK on an overseas driving license;

Core values and beliefs

We respect all job seekers and believe that candidates who are treated with respect and given responsibility respond by giving their best.
