Hi, the written test was just to write a letter, it had nothing to do with social work, just purely to show you could put a piece of work together.
I think smart is the best way to dress, most people did, black trousers and suit jacket, something like that.
It is a really relaxed atmosphere compared to others I had been to. In the interview some of the questions asked were, why you want to be a social worker, what skills and values you have that would help you in the role, when you have experienced discrimination, either personally or at work. A challenging situation you have been in. What you have been reding to prepare yourself and a chance to sell yourself at the end.
I always think it's good to have a question prepared to ask them, to show you have researched the course and their uni.
The staff are really nice and make you feel at ease. Just be yourself, they don't expect you to know everything, just to check that you are the right kind of person and know what the role of a social worker actually is!!
Always useful to look up current affairs, I used the problem with bed blocking at the mo. The guardian or college of social work have current issues online.
Good luck!!!
