social work in new zealand
Hello,
My partner and I are both qualified social workers, a job that is on the shortage list. My partner has 1.5 years child protection experience and I have 3 years adults experience. I have been applying through an agent for several months without any luck and the agent has now shut up shop (with my $500 registration fee) and I have applied for a few jobs directly but have not got to interview stage. We are now thinking of coming out to New Zealand to find our own jobs given we are supposed to be in demand. We may have better luck face to face. However, the fact that our agent could make it is a worry for the economy. Anyone know what job prospects are like for social workers at the moment???
Thanks
