Social Work - Apply Anytime

            

Here at Bedford Borough we realise that the old style approach of placing an advert when someone resigns is not the most efficient way of handling recruitment for social care professionals.  Our aim is to be proactive rather than reactive and, to ensure this we have in place an ‘Apply Anytime’ Scheme for posts in Children’s Social Care.

This means if you are interested in working for the Council in a social care capacity you can apply at any time and your application will be considered.  You don’t have to wait to respond to an advert!

Applications received will be reviewed in the second week of every month.  If your application meets our criteria you will be invited to attend for interview. 

If you prove successful at interview you will be placed in a recommended candidate pool and we will write to you to confirm this.

The approved recommended candidate pool will be contacted when a vacancy arises.  The Council will approach the pool before placing any external adverts.
