Social care professionals can find out more about some of the job opportunities available in Wolverhampton at a recruitment fair in Birmingham next month.

Representatives from the City of Wolverhampton Council's Adults and Children's Social Care services will be on hand to highlight current vacancies in the city at the annual Compass Jobs Fair, the largest social work and social care recruitment, retention and career development event in the UK.

The vacancies include social worker and newly qualified social worker posts within the Children and Young People in Care service, including disabled children and young people, fostering, care transitions, and within the Children in Need and Child Protection Service, while people can also find out about future opportunities within Adult Social Care services.

Job hunters will also be able to speak to employees already working in Wolverhampton about their experiences.

Councillor Paul Sweet, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: "We are attending this national event to raise the profile of social care services in Wolverhampton and promote the opportunities currently available, which in turn will help us further improve the already high standard of social work practice in the City."

Cabinet Member for Adult Services, Councillor Sandra Samuels OBE, added: "We are keen to hear from talented social care professionals who are looking for the opportunity to make a real difference to service users and who want to join our fabulous teams."

The Compass Jobs Fair takes place at the Birmingham Conference and Events Centre on Monday 4 March, 2019. For more information, please visit Compass Jobs Fair. Registration is required to attend the event.
