Recruitment of up to 13 FTE Locum Social Workers

Suffolk County Council seeks to directly award a contract for up to 13 full-time equivalent locum social workers to work within the Integrated Front Door (IFD) / Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) as an interim measure while permanent recruitment is conducted. The service is required to support child safeguarding and social care functions. No specific qualifications or experience are mentioned beyond the role being for qualified social workers. The contract value is not disclosed, but the scale suggests a significant interim staffing need.
