UK Pro has been offering county councils the opportunity to come to America and
interview our Social Workers. This opportunity is available to all those Social
Workers that have an MSW or a BSW. Permanent job interviews are valuable in that if
you are offered a job, you can work in the UK for 2-5 years on a work permit
sponsored by that particular council.
UK Pro will continually update this page with relevant interviews that are taking
place in America. You must begin the paperwork process prior to being invited to
interview which consists of being verified as a Social Worker in the UK through the
General Social Care Council.
Please visit the website at: www.gscc.org.uk
The verification offered by the GSCC will allow you to call yourself a Qualified
Social Worker in the UK. Once completing the application and sending it to the UK,
the process of becoming verified can take 2-4 months. It is in your best interests
to already be verified to work in the UK prior to attending an interview. UK Pro may
require GSCC registration to interview.
