Testimonials from

Compass Jobs Fair Birmingham 2010

Very useful and informative seminars. I attend most years to the event and find they provide a good overview of current trends, practices and innovations in both Adults and Children’s Social Work.

    Loraine O’Rourke, Social Worker



Informative day , very useful. Good for networking.

The seminars attended were very interesting: Trafficking; Child protection within Mosques and Madrassa.

   Maria Moult

 

 

Seminars were interesting in Trafficking and Mosques and Madrassa, which were held by Midlands Police and Child Protection. Varied stands were useful and informative, so were the agencies. Venue was accessible.

    Debra Hand, Student Social Worker

 



Good hospitality. Overall fantastic.

    Shinoy Kurian, Social Care Worker

 

 

 

Very interesting and informative; all local authorities need to attend as some were missing; reliable and relevant information.

Very informative with lots of friendly approachable staff. Gave the opportunity to look at differing options without feeling pressured.

    Samantha-Jo Kilworth, Social Work Student

 


Generally a good day. Useful information, however, a little disappointed that there was little representation from Adult Services.

An extremely busy and productive day.
It was great to meet with people from across the sector and promote our work. Very productive day.
It was nice to speak to students/qualified social workers and give them face to face advice.

Many thanks to Stuart Hardman (Compass) who saved the day when the stand failed to hold the display sheets – great improvisation.

Staff extremely helpful. Good food/refreshments. Great hospitality. Lots of interest from newly qualified students.

Over 100 names of NQSW’s and qualified social workers expressing an interest to work in Stoke.

Excellent co-operation from Compass.

Carol Smith, Workforce Development Co-ordinator

Has been a steady pace of enquiries, useful to consider how we would use/utilise future exhibits

eg include other services of FHS and meet the requirements of those attending.

Good networking opportunities. Overall – good, well organised event. Very helpful staff and friendly.

The young man who was charged with Bay A loading/unloading was extremely helpful. Will definitely consider exhibiting in next year’s event.

Anna Rooney, Team Manager – Fostering

Father Hudson’s Society

 


We have enjoyed a successful day at the Compass Jobs Fair, and would definitely look to return in the future. We had the opportunity to meet a range of quality candidates from newly qualified and those with a curiosity for social work, to very skilled and experienced professionals, including team managers. Thanks.

Excellent venue and set up. Compass team very helpful and resourceful as usual. Food excellent. Very helpful for us – felt we gave lots of useful information to people who requested it. Very well organised.

Helen Lamb, Projects Co-ordinator

Skills for Care

 

 

Well organised event by friendly, helpful staff. We attracted at least 150 people to our stand and have their contact details for future communication and hopefully recruitment. Excellent pre-conference evening! I understand that Mark Thorn has already booked for next year and I will be supporting his commitment with the KCC Senior Management Team.

Andrew Hickmott, Head of Childrens Services (West Kent)

Kent County Council

 

 

A very successful day – lots of data collected through our questionnaire. The Krispy Kremes were a hit – got loads to our stand. A big thank you to Compass for helping to organise these! Let's hope our vacancy levels are reduced further as a result – I guess so!

Julie Barnard, Workforce Development Manager

Peterborough City Council
