WORKING IN THE UK AS A SOCIAL WORKER

There is a huge shortage of qualified social workers in the UK and there are many opportunities for suitably qualified people from overseas.

Prior to leaving home

To work in the UK as a social worker you must meet certain requirements and not knowing or forgetting to complete them can prevent you working in the UK. Some of the UK requirements must be completed before you travel to the UK. If they are not done it can delay you in starting work in the UK or even in some cases require you to return home to complete the process.
