According to Community Care article, one in nine social worker job vacancies in England go unfilled. The numbers which were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act have shown that on 31 January 2009 there was an average 10.9% vacancy rate in the 96 councils that responded to the magazine’s national survey - equivalent to 8,317 vacant posts in England.
The figures were given by the councils over the past two months and were published for the first time, also show a marked increase on the national vacancy rate, which has been close to 10% since 2006.
Queries have been raised to why there is a struggle to fill roles as there are so many people unemployed, is it that there is a lack of training in these areas or people do not want to work in this sector after the bad publicity that has surrounded these roles.
