About Frontline****
Frontline was established as a charity to foster a movement of social workers designed to bring safety and stability to children. Our focus is exclusively on social work for children and families, integrating professionals trained specifically for this critical area.
Guided by our vision—that a child’s life chances should be determined by potential, not circumstance—we champion lasting social change through passionate, well-trained social workers. As such, our recruitment process reflects the high standards we demand in our teams.
The Role

- Be ages 18 or over
- Provide proof of your right to work in the UK (e.g., a UK passport)
What You’ll Do
- Assess candidates applying for our Approach Social Work programme (formerly Frontline)
- Conduct interviews to evaluate candidates’ motivation, skills, and career experiences
- Join a larger assessment team working to select the best candidates for positions helping children, families, and young people
- Offer candid feedback on candidate performance

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll work at online assessment centres and will be paid £122 per full day (or £61 per half day). All CEAs will be placed on Frontline’s payroll, paid monthly for their assessments.
