Social Work First Reviews 25

Social work in cambuslang area are a joke. Wanting to keep families together they lie. I applied for kinship for my grandson as not seen him in over 7 months. Grandparents in Scotland according to them have no rights whatsoever. They denied me because of my past 22 years ago and my epilepsy which I have a close family network. They keep saying they want to see families together. They never gave my son and daughter in law a chance. My grandson went into care due to different circumstances. I wouldn't trust the social work as far as I can throw him. Now me and my partner only see my grandson in photos. Won't get to see his first steps , never got to see him go through teething stages. Only advice I would give, if social work come to you, get yourself a lawyer as the ones these days are literally flung out of college, and have too much judgement towards people. Avoid cambuslang and rutherglen social work like the plague as they judge people too much.

Social workers in Clydebank, Glasgow, Scotland. Basically West Dunbartonshire council.
They failed in their duty of care to protect a family in their services and instead persecuted the parents instead of investigating properly all aspects surrounding the case.

Joshua Walters is great listener, he takes time to get to know his clients and understand their needs. He has a good in insight into how social work, social work managers, and local authorities operate. Joshua takes time to get to know you and is always very professional. Having Joshua as my agent makes me feel safe and well supported. Joshua is always available and he has a good eye for details. Joshua is easy to discuss any issues with and he is calming voice in a storm of paper work. I would highly recommend Joshua to all my colleagues and friends in social work.

Josh has been nothing short of amazing. He keeps in contact with me regularly and provides me with updates on roles available, he responds very quickly to my requests and actions them, he is very polite and professional and I have felt very supported whilst working with him. I have experienced pushy agencies in the past however, the approach from social work first and Josh in particular has been different. I have felt able to express my wishes and have not felt forced or pressured at all. A very supportive and efficient agency who are able to secure roles. I would 100% recommend their services.

Scott is the best! Really happy with the agency, especially with my consultant. He goes above and beyond in trying to find a role that suits, will chase things up and get back to me quickly. Always checks in regularly and has a little chat to make sure everything is going well. I found him more proactive that other agencies which ended up getting me a great role.

Scott showed great initiative compared to other consultants I had used in the past . He really listened to what I was looking for and ensured that role matched with my requirements. Once I started, any queries I had were resolved quickly and he checks on me regularly to make sure everything is okay .. I would highly recommend them

I have an agent called Scott. He goes the extra mile and checks in weekly without fail.

When you need something done he does it.

I am in a high position because he went for it and sold me to the position. That's what you need from an agent.

Oliva Yetzes was great she kept me informed every step of the way during my registration process. Stacey was also helpful. They both understood my needs and ensured I had an imminent start at my job. They are both good and knowledgeable about their roles and responsibilities. Excellent agency. Have recommended them to other colleagues

Olivia is way ahead of most other social work consultants . Sheis always good to talk to and is very informative about new roles. She is knowledgeable and professional and also great fun to spend time with as she has a ready sense of humour and is quick to laugh. The company have ensured I have been as well paid as l could be and have taken time to explain things to me

I have a good and excellent agent Mr Matthew Burger. He attends to every things and all in detail that I need to be aware of. I trust him and I will always recommend any social worker in my circles who needs his services. I couldn’t have asked anyone better than Matt. Thank you so much.

I am really happy with the service I have been offered by Joshua Walters. He goes above and beyond and has a transparent approach which I appreciate. Joshua is very patient and calm which makes me feel at ease with him trying to secure me a role, I do not feel pressured and this is something that I appreciate given the fast pace of the industry.
I have had the pleasure of working with Joshua on two separate occasions and he has offered good communication consistently. I hope Joshua will be rewarded for his hardwork by the company in some way! 😀 Thank you take care.

I don’t know where to start off but this agency has been amazing, honestly the flexibility, pay and fast responses are to dream of. Love it here and don’t see myself with any other agency. You tell them what you need and they cater to you the best way. And Josh is the best in the game. When you join just ask for Josh! And you will not be disappointed I promise you. He are professional, he is prompt and caring. Thank you social work first ! And thanks Josh

Great communication, fast response and support. Josh was able to arrange everything needed within a few days and was knowledgeable about all areas of working for an agency.

Josh is my consultant, very professional and always keep on top of things. I am glad I chose to work with SWF.
Best agency so far.

Great and professional support from the team (Josh)

Proactive, efficient. Having a named point of contact means you feel this agency really know you and find the right jobs for you. Josh has been knowledgeable, interested, supportive, friendly and responsive. Thank you

Luke is my consultant and he has been absolutely fantastic. He has consistently kept in touch and ensured that everything is okay in my placements. Luke has advocated for me and managed any discussions and future roles.I have referred several social workers to this agency as the service is first class and the communication is excellent.

I have Josh Walters as my agency contact and he is great. I’m in a job I like, good hourly rate and he couldn’t be more helpful! I saw Josh for a catch up this week, he is so full of enthusiasm and support, he is great to work with.

Working with Josh from Social Work First has been amazing! Within just over a week he had secured me an interview. Josh supported me to prepare for my interview, he called an hour before to wish me luck! He told me to call him straight after for a debrief, and within a couple of hours afterwards he called with great news that I had been successful!

I will definitely be recommending social work first to colleagues and friends. Overall it has been a great experience throughout!

This has been my first locum role and I couldn’t have wishes for better support and action from a consultant. Josh has been fantastic. Communication has been brilliant and he was really fast to send me potential roles and support me in to the role. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Josh at SWF as a consultant.
