ISWA is committed to maintaining a diverse workforce of expert practitioners who can commit to our high standards. Unlike other agencies, ISWA demands between 5-10 years post qualification experience dependent on the role. We pride ourselves on our stringent selection processes.
As a consequence of increasing demand for our services, we continue to seek to recruit, as Associates, a number of experienced social workers, who have a well evidenced portfolio of skilled practice in this specialist area. Professional consultation and support is an integral part of associate status. Our fee structure is based upon measured performance.
If you meet the post-qualification requirement for the specific role, and would like to know more about becoming an ISWA Associate, we are keen to hear from you.
Individuals interested in becoming an ISWA Associate should send a covering letter to Mr King and Mr Jack along with:-
-
completed application form (downloadable from this site)
-
copy of all relevant qualifications
-
copy of HCPC registration certificate
-
contact details of two referees [one current employer]
-

Applicants should be aware that in order to maintain our standards, our selection process is extremely thorough. Applicants selected for interview are required to provide a range of supporting evidence of their work, complete a presentation and short competency test on the day.
We know that our recruitment procedures are stringent and at first sight can appear rather intimidating. However, we are looking for excellence in our practitioners and the process allows candidates to demonstrate this. Without exception, those who go through our selection procedures find the process both stimulating and affirming. To illustrate, here are a selection of comments from both successful and unsuccessful candidates:-
"Even if I am not appointed I would like to tell you that this interview is the most stimulating and constructive that I have ever experienced in thirty years of practice."
"Although I am disappointed, the interview was thorough and fair and I understand your decision."
"I was really nervous to start with but the experience has been extremely rewarding."
