I won’t go into all the details and the reasons about how hard it was to find something else that mirrors SW, as this is my calling. I also won’t go into the many reasons why I took the long hard decisions to leave either (yes SW’s you all know red tape, bad management, budget cuts…you name it). But despite my many years experience I must admit I found it difficult to walk into a somewhat similar job that paid just above the minimum wage. So to cut a long story short I’m back in SW. I did my 30 day return to practice and was very glad I did, besides you have no choice if you want to practice. I’m glad I took a long break and I have come back with a new perspective, although sadly nothing has changed, if anything they’re getting noticeably worse!! But I’ve decided because I love my profession I will work until I retire, but in the meantime I will still keep an eye out for any social work related opportunities that may arise.

If your second social work career was 5 years long, this would equate to a 5% pay hit (it’s actually much worse because the lost wages are all up front meaning you need savings to even consider it – but call it 5%)

That’s on top of 9% student loan repayments – meaning the salary is 14% less than it looks. If a salary was £28k, it would really be worth £24k

An assistant manager in a popular fast food chain can make £21k (after student loan)

It would be understandable if the 60 days was going to be productively spent. But even if you read every single relevant court case, research paper, and government policy that had come out over the time you were absent (not that you’d have done that perfectly whilst in active practice!) I doubt it would fill 60 days. I’d guess a few days in the classroom in this LGA programme to cover CSE, county lines, social media – but the employers ought to be able to do that “on the job” and whilst paying wages. Some civil servant has plucked this 60 days number out of the air.
