Accepted Answer

Question 4

Do you take on newly qualified workers?

Accepted Answer

It is difficult for newly qualified social workers to become locums straight away due to the extra support that they require. This is not something that would normally be provided to temporary or contract staff.

Generally, you need at least 12-18 months of local authority experience as a social worker after completing any period of protected workload and support, such as the ASYE.

Question 5

How do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

We are aligned to a number of recognised umbrella companies and whichever one you join, you will receive pay on-time, weekly and directly into your bank account. We also have the option of being paid through PAYE.

However, being paid through an Umbrella company is more flexible as PAYE is tied to one day a week for you to be paid so timesheets must be submitted on time every week.

Question 6

What is usual for a support worker salary?

Accepted Answer

Support worker salary in the UK can vary depending on various factors such as the region, employer, level of experience, and the specific field of support work.

On average, the annual salary for a support worker in the UK ranges from £16,000 to £25,000. However, this figure can vary significantly. Entry-level support workers or those with limited experience might earn closer to the lower end of the range, while experienced support workers, those in supervisory roles, or those working in specialised areas may earn higher salaries.
