End-to-end support for social workers from Zimbabwe and South Africa. Guidance with UK practice, law and regulation, as well as CVs and insight into the work experience Local Authorities look for — with an assigned mentor to assist throughout the journey.
The first step
The programme is designed for children's social work, where our experience sits. Support for those seeking care work in the UK is available on a case-by-case basis rather than as standard.
Child protection thresholds, safeguarding duty, and how UK social work differs from practice at home.
The Children Act, Working Together and the Professional Capabilities Framework — structured so your evidence portfolio is sponsorship-ready.
A UK-formatted CV, personal statement and interview prep, reviewed line-by-line by an experienced London social worker.
The timeline
Weeks 0–2
Qualification check, English language test and a candid readiness review.
Weeks 3–10
Starter Course modules, UK law deep-dives and your evidence portfolio.
When you're ready
Job searching, UK-format CV, role-specific coaching and interview preparation until you secure an offer.
After your job offer
Once you've been offered a job and your Certificate of Sponsorship is issued, we can support you to complete your skilled worker visa application.
Everything included
This is not a course you work through alone. Every element below is included in one programme. Purchased separately, these services would cost thousands — and you would still be without the mentor who connects them.
Five case study based assessments, marked and discussed with you, so your UK practice thinking is evidenced not assumed.
Four structured preparation sets covering values, scenarios and safeguarding questions UK panels actually ask.
Targeted material and one-to-one coaching built around the exact job you have been shortlisted for.
The core programme on UK law, regulation, thresholds and how teams really run day to day.
Online sessions where international social workers already working here share how they moved, settled and found their feet — plus open questions.
UK-format CV, personal statement and help finding and applying for the right social work vacancies.
Practical support with the skilled-worker visa application, flights, and somewhere to land when you arrive.
Guidance before you travel, then emotional wellbeing check-ins and settling-in support once you start.
Candidate groups back home and in the UK, plus a family life and work group — people two steps ahead of you, always reachable.
Elements such as job searching, visa forms and finding accommodation are optional, and you are welcome to manage them yourself. Most candidates accept the support, because the difference between a successful application and a rejected one is usually detail.
Testimonials
“I had applied to eleven jobs on my own and heard nothing back. After the CV work and two interview sets, I was shortlisted twice in a month and accepted an offer with a London borough.”
“The law and regulation modules were the part I was most afraid of. Having someone who actually practises here explain thresholds and Working Together made it click.”
“What I did not expect was the support after I arrived. Wellbeing check-ins in my first months kept me steady when the caseload felt overwhelming.”
“The WhatsApp groups were worth it alone. Questions about IELTS, Social Work England, even where to open a bank account — answered by people a few months ahead of me.”

A 30-minute conversation to map your skills, timeline and the realistic sponsorship route. No obligation — just a clear next step.
