Do it for returning to practice
Devon County Council are excited to be able to offer support for Occupational Therapists and Social Workers who are looking to return to practice in Adult Social Care via a voluntary route.
The Voluntary route is a quick route to return to practice and although unpaid, ensures you can complete your return to practice update and begin applying for vacancies as soon as possible.
