Permanent Recruitment for Qualified Social Workers
Within social services, Independent Fostering Agencies and charities across the UK
Tenurly Social Work is a specialist UK recruitment consultancy focused exclusively on the permanent recruitment of qualified social workers.
We work with Local Authorities, Independent Fostering Agencies (IFAs), and charities across the UK, recruiting qualified social workers into permanent social work roles within children’s and adults’ services.
Our focus is to place qualified social workers into permanent roles that are intended to last, supporting continuity for services and stability for professionals.
What We Do
Who We Work With
Organisations
Permanent recruitment specialists: We specialise in permanent social work recruitment for Local Authorities, Independent Fostering Agencies (IFAs), and charities across England.
Long-term focus: By focusing only on permanent appointments, we help organisations move away from short-term agency fixes and appoint qualified social workers committed to long-term roles.
Service area focus: We recruit across Children & Families, Fostering, Safeguarding, and Adult Social Care, giving you targeted support across the social work sector.
Placement guarantee: Every placement is backed by a 3-month staggered refund guarantee, helping protect your investment in permanent staff.
Qualified Social Workers
Permanent roles only: We work with qualified social workers seeking permanent opportunities across Local Authorities, Independent Fostering Agencies (IFAs), and charities.
Your CV stays private: Your details are only shared with your permission and where there is a genuine vacancy.
Direct contact with hiring managers: We work directly with Heads of Service, Team Managers, and recruitment leads, so your profile reaches the right decision-makers.
Support at every stage: Whether you’re newly qualified, moving from locum into a permanent role, or ready for a new challenge, we support you through the process and into the right appointment.
We focus exclusively on permanent social work recruitment and do not offer temporary, locum, or agency staffing. This is a deliberate choice, made to move away from short-term fixes and towards building stable, long-term teams.
By removing the distraction of temporary recruitment, we can focus fully on careful candidate search, understanding each role properly, and making sure there is a genuine long-term fit. Our aim isn’t simply to fill a vacancy, but to create lasting placements that support retention for Local Authorities, IFAs, and charities across the UK.
Permanent-Only.
By Design.

Our coverage reflects the realities of frontline social work and the differing requirements across service areas.
