The latest Social Work Podcast, is up–all about working abroad as a social worker. Not exam-prep content, but maybe exam-prep inspiration.
[I]f you’re interested in learning more about working abroad means, if you’re really interested in traveling to the U.K., or Australia… if you have questions about, “How do I finance it?”, “Can I bring my cat?”, “Do I need a license,” “Do I have to be a community organizer, do I have to be a policy person, can I do direct practice?” this podcast is for you – all of these questions will be answered.
Hi,
I have a degree in social work from the U.S. (BSW) my question is how many hours do I need to work in the U.S. as a social worker before I can work in the UK? I have hours from my internship (400 hours) and recently graduated.
I would appreciate any information you could provide.
Thank you,
Rene´

Rene,
To work as a Social worker in the UK, you wil first have to register with the GSCC there: http://www.gscc.org.uk
Irrespective you your hours, it’s the content of your knowledge and coursework which will help determine if you are eligible to practice SW in the UK. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
