Locum social work FAQs
A locum social worker, also known as an agency social worker, usually works on temporary contracts rather than permanent positions.
They often operate across a variety of settings, including local authorities, healthcare organisations, voluntary organisations, charities, and private companies. This role offers social workers the opportunity to engage with diverse groups of people, providing support to individuals and families, and making a meaningful impact on many lives.
Locum social work roles offer flexibility and variety, allowing you to broaden your experience and enhance your career opportunities.
As a locum, you gain greater autonomy over when and where you work, supporting a healthier work-life balance. Additionally, by working in a range of settings and teams, you can expand your skillset and accumulate valuable experience, paving the way for continued professional growth and development.
To be eligible for locum social work roles, you must be fully qualified and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
Once you’re qualified and registered, it’s important to find the right agency that prioritises your best interests.
