• Founders’ Background: The founders of Afri Care Recruitment bring a wealth of experience, having migrated from Africa over 25 years ago. We have accumulated significant expertise in the field of social work within the UK, where they have managed teams and supported migrant workers in adapting to their roles and the cultural environment.
  • Formation of the Company: Established in 2025, Afri Care Recruitment was created to fill the training gap in the recruitment process for social workers from Africa. The company recognised the unique challenges faced by these workers, particularly the difficulties involved in securing a job and successfully adapting to the role. Our vision was to bridge these gaps by providing tailored support and comprehensive training through PBL.
  • Services Offered: Afri Care provides a six-week package designed to facilitate a smoother transition for international recruits into their new work environment. This package includes Practice-Based Learning, relocation preparation, and ongoing support. The aim is to ensure that recruits are not only well-prepared for the professional demands of their roles but also adequately supported in adjusting to their new cultural setting. This should increase retention within the local authority.
  • Training Approach: Afri Care utilises a Practice-Based Learning environment to train recruits, simulating real-life social work scenarios to enhance problem-solving skills and critical thinking. This method ensures that recruits are well-prepared for the practical aspects of their roles. In addition to technical training, the program also focuses on providing cultural orientation, helping recruits understand and navigate the social and cultural nuances of the UK.
  • Commitment to Success: Afri Care’s dedication does not end with placement. The company offers continuous support and assistance to their recruits, ensuring they thrive in their roles and integrating seamlessly into their work environments. This ongoing support is crucial in promoting job satisfaction and retention, thereby benefiting both the recruits and the local authorities they serve.
  • Community Engagement: Beyond recruitment and training, Afri Care is committed to fostering a sense of community among its recruits. They organise regular meetups and networking events, providing a platform for social workers to share experiences, seek advice, and build a supportive network in their new country.
  • Future Aspirations: Looking ahead, Afri Care Recruitment aims to expand its services, reaching out to more local authorities and increasing the number of recruits. The company also plans to introduce advanced training modules and partnerships with educational institutions to further enhance the quality and scope of its training programs.
