The levels we are recruiting for are Consultant Social Worker, Experienced Social Worker and Social Worker. All candidates must be willing to work on a permanent basis. Temporary recruitment is not included in this process. * We will be running internal and external campaigns to recruit into the new structure.

They will discuss the role fully with potential candidates to ensure they meet the essential criteria as stated in the relevant job descriptions provided prior to submitting CV's. SBC will share an overview of full team requirements and the proposed structure. SBC may consider CV's from candidates who may not meet the full training requirements but are able to demonstrate they are working towards completion - the agency must highlight the shortfall when submitting candidate information. * We would like agencies to qualify candidates based on candidate experience, skills, future career aspirations, salary and location, and provide recommendations to SBC to review. * SBC will review and shortlist candidates who meet the criteria based on the job description, CV and any supporting information submitted via the agency. SBC will shortlist and liaise with each agency to arrange interviews. * Agencies will work with their candidates and SBC to ensure the interview process is managed effectively and candidates are fully briefed prior to arriving.
