Frequently Asked Questions


Need assistance? We strive to offer you the best service possible. These pages are here to help you get the most from our site and also to help you resolve any queries you may have.

If you see a job on the Medacs Social Work website that you are interested in, please notify your Consultant immediately. At this point you will discuss the position in more detail (such as Job role, Pay,Travel and Expenses).

In most instances, your Consultant will phone you to advise you that they have a role that you may be interested in, and will keep you up to date on roles they are working on, on your behalf.

Your Consultant will send your CV to the team in question and this will determine if the team invite you to interview. Some posts will require one or two interviews and some posts will not require an interview at all – it really is all down to the team.



We will go through all your work options at interview so that we gain a clear idea of your skills and what types of roles we can offer you.
As a locum worker, it is important that you keep your consultant up to date with your requirements and availability and give us honest feedback about the roles we are offering you.

The quality of your CV is very important as many teams receive up to 70 CVs at a time. If you would like advice on CV writing then please contact our team who have years of experience of judging and re-writing CVs .

At Medacs Social Work we use a bespoke data base that will match you to positions within seconds, using your experience and your availability. It is important that you return any missed calls from your Consultant so that you do not miss out on opportunities that we can offer you.



We try to give you as much notice as possible but in rare circumstances cancellations may occur. In instances such as this we will endeavour to offer you alternative work and do our best to ensure you do not lose out. Medacs Social Work will ensure that each incident is thoroughly investigated as to why the candidate has been cancelled.
