It is difficult for newly qualified social workers to become locums straight away due to the extra support that they require. This is not something that would normally be provided to temporary or contract staff.
Generally, you need at least 12-18 months’ local authority experience as a social worker after completing any period of protected workload and support, such as the ASYE.
We are aligned to a number of recognised umbrella companies and whichever one you join, you will receive pay on-time, weekly and directly into your bank account.
We also have the option of being paid through PAYE. However, being paid through an Umbrella company is more flexible as PAYE is tied to one day a week for you to be paid so timesheets must be submitted on time every week.
To process a pay claim all you will need to do is download and print a copy of our timesheet, fill it in and have it signed by a manager or relevant person at the client who can approve/authorise timesheets.
Once you have finished filling in your timesheet simply send it to our Payroll Department on time at TimesheetsNorth@prosperogrp.com, TimesheetsSouth@prosperogrp.com, or TimesheetsCentral@prosperogrp.com and they will do the rest.

One of the benefits of being paid through an Umbrella Company is if you work for multiple agencies they are able to organise the pay for you so you are not over taxed. Being paid on time through both an Umbrella company and PAYE is dependent on if your timesheets are submitted on time.
