KLC Recruitment regularly visit the United Kingdom to meet with qualified Social Workers who are interested in making the big move to Australia.
Not only do we provide candidates with information about the Australian Not-for-Profit sector and current roles we have available, we will help assist you with information on everything involved in moving your life to Melbourne. We have a large presence in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and strong partnerships with migration agents in London. We will endeavor to make the process as smooth and as easy as possible keeping you in the loop every step of the way.
Our next trip to London will be in 2019 so watch this space for upcoming dates and exciting information!
I first became aware of KLC via a social work group on Facebook when they put up a post regarding working holiday visas. I did not meet the criteria for that visa, so I emailed Olivia requesting further information and received a prompt reply. I have found all the team at KLC to be very helpful (always available to answer my endless questions), efficient, and easily contactable since that first email. I met with Chris and Stephanie in London, and soon after I arrived in Melbourne where they shared their local knowledge with me, as well as discussed possible roles. KLC secured me an interview for the week I arrived and considered which suburb we were moving to; which prevented a long commute. A few weeks after starting my new role, Chris and Stephanie visited me in my work place for a catch up and to check how I was settling in which I very much appreciated. I thank all the team for their support and would highly recommend KLC to those considering a move to Melbourne.
As with any big changes in life, there have been ups and downs when relocating, however the positives far outweigh any negatives. My husband and I love Melbourne and we are enjoying exploring Victoria at every opportunity...especially now our bikes have arrived from the UK!
Adjusting to a new role in a new country takes time, however it's been much like moving between organisations in the UK. The fundamentals of social work remain the same where ever you. Hold onto your values and ethics and embrace the challenges!
I wish you all the best on your journey to Australia.
