Social workers sought in US


SOCIAL workers in Ledbury could soon be giving advice with an American accent.

A shortage of social worker in the county has led Herefordshire Council to look to the USA for qualified people.

The authority plans to offer a £4,000 "golden handshakes" to any American social workers who are willing to take up the challenge.

The fee includes the cost of a travel and accomodation, interview costs, documentation, checking, visas and work permits.

The authority already has 16 candidates to consider.

These will be interviewed initially at Atlanta in Georgia.
