About Us
There is a dire need for social workers within the United Kingdom as there are many vacancies in teams across the country. Over the years, there has been a surge of overseas recruitment and the results have varied in terms of success. Merit Staffing Solutions has considered previous experiences of each the social workers and employers in the United Kingdom to foresee and address the shortfalls of the recruitment process and issues that have been identified as problematic.
Merit Staffing Solutions has been established by a Canadian social worker who experienced recruitment from Canada and has worked within the English system for over four years both as a social worker and at management level. The agency has therefore been developed with an insight to the necessary requirements and skills of social workers within the United Kingdom and the individual needs of social workers moving and working overseas.
The concept of Merit Staffing Solutions is based on honesty and integrity and will provide truthful information about the realities of practicing social work and living in the United Kingdom. We will assist social workers in ensuring they will meet the expectations of employers as well as an awareness of the professional and personal transitions and challenges that they will experience.
The support offered does not end as soon as placements are made within the United Kingdom. Merit Staffing Solutions offers ongoing practical support whilst you settle within your new life and surroundings. There will be planned social outings to help you network with other social workers that are experiencing the same changes.
