Candidate Perks

Candidate Perks at Social Personnel

When you choose to work with us, we always make sure we can give back, helping you to make your mark. 

Whether it's from round the clock support, dedicated consultants, personalised social work job alerts or our brilliant social work events, you can guarantee you are looked after with Social Personnel.

Assigned a dedicated consultant on day one

We have expert consultants in all areas of social care, meaning you will have a regular point of contact that understands your career goals and your area of work inside out. They will be able to match you to roles that are the perfect fit for you, provide expert advice on CVs, interviews and everything in between. 

Personalised job alerts

 Receive personalised social work job alerts depending on your level of qualification and your specialisms. Your dedicated consultant will be on hand to contact you about the hottest jobs that haven't hit the job boards yet. Alongside that, you'll get emails regularly in your inbox of anything that might work for you.

Free social events for candidates & clients 

We believe in giving back to those that choose to work with us as much as we can. One of these ways is by hosting our annual social work parties in London and the North of England. They are completely free for you and include all your food, drink and entertainment. Our summer parties are a particular favourite!

Free merch and collateral

From Sherwood diaries to branded essentials like coffee mugs, pens and notepads, we know everyone loves a freebie. Simply claim yours upon signing up with us, or they are readily available at any of our events.

Super fast payroll and compliance

Our payroll and compliance teams work round the clock to ensure you are getting what you need as fast as possible. A reliable service shouldn't be a perk, but we go the extra mile to set the gold standard for our back office operations. We are REC and APSCo Compliance + accredited, meaning you have extra peace of mind about our services.

An agency that gives back.

We believe in giving back to our candidates, to thank them for all their hard work and commitment to supporting our local communities, changing the lives of people and everything else in between!

 

We are always looking for new ways to thank our hard working staff and that's why our free events are a huge part of working with Social Personnel. From our summer events in London and Manchester, to our festive functions, we love a good party, and we know you do too!

Our events will always remain free for our candidates and clients, all you need to do is turn up, enjoy yourself and party with other like-minded social workers.
