Working as a locum social worker
As a locum social worker, you’re likely to experience a wide range of benefits that you wouldn’t receive in a full-time role. One of the biggest benefits is the flexibility around working hours – allowing you to strike a good work-life balance, as you’ll be your own boss. As well as this, you can experience different social worker environments and gain vast experience.
However, working as a locum does restrict you from being eligible to receive sick pay, holiday pay and opt into company pension schemes.
