Return to social work and restart your career with us

We welcome candidates considering a return to Social Work in Cornwall. We can support those who are SWE registered, but not worked in statutory Social Work at all, or for some time with an enhanced induction.

We are also able to consider experienced social workers who have taken a career break of between two and ten years, and their SWE registration has expired.

In these instances we can offer a supported programme of learning and development to allow you to re-register with SWE.
