At Only Social Care, we specialise in recruiting for both Adults’ and Children’s Services across the UK. We support over 300 workers nationwide and place into all key teams including:

Social Workers | Senior Social Workers | AMHPs | BIAs | IROs | OTs | Team Managers | Service Managers | Heads of Service

You’ll work directly with a dedicated consultant (that’s me!) who’s available evenings and weekends and will always go the extra mile to get you the best role.

If this role isn’t quite right for you, you can still earn a £250 referral bonus in any of the following ways:

• You refer a qualified social worker to me and I successfully place them into a role
• You are a locum yourself and want me to represent you for a role you source yourself
• You introduce me to a hiring manager who is recruiting and I help fill one of their roles
• Referral bonuses are paid once a placement has been successfully made and worked for 12 weeks. It's that simple – and there's no limit to how many bonuses you can earn.
