Vixg80 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Can anyone point me in the direction of some social work recruitment agencies in WA, or advise me of the best websites to use to search for social work jobs. I see lots of social work roles on the East Coast being advertised on SEEK, Indeed and Linkedin but very few for WA. Any help/advice much appreciated.

Marisawright Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Unfortunately, it's inevitable that there are fewer jobs. The population of WA is less than 3 million people. The population of Victoria, Queensland and NSW combined is over 20 million people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Flu Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 You will find most employment in this area outside of a hospital setting are for/in government sponsored agencies. It's often diluted with other professions like councilors and/or psychologists. It's said not to be as varied employment possibilities as UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I was going to say that your best bet would be to find out what companies or government departments employ social workers in WA. Then make a direct approach to them to ask about employment prospects. Phone them if possible, as everyone is so swamped with emails, you're less likely to get a response. https://www.wa.gov.au/service/employment/human-resources-development/find-job-government Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Flu Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Justice Dept often on the look out as Child Protection. Often for a reason though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
