The COMPASS Jobs Fair returned to London yesterday with the 2019 Social Work Innovations conference.
It was a hugely successful event, with more than 2300 visitors registering to meet the wide range of exhibitors, to attend seminars on the latest developments in social work and social care, and to make use of the Social Work Cinema for its selection of short films covering a broad selection of topics.
We would like to thank all the visitors, exhibitors, speakers, and our event sponsor Kent County Council, who all contributed to producing such a positive event for the sector.
If you didn't get chance to speak to the organisations represented at the event, there is still time to view their profiles – as well as the profiles of every advertiser in COMPASS the annual guide to social work and social care – on the COMPASS website by clicking here.

Here's what just a few of those who attended say about the day:
"The event was very good and really busy. There was a nice atmosphere and the venue had great facilities. There was a good mix of attendees for us to discuss our services with. We really liked being able to interview candidates on the day, and there were plenty of opportunities for networking with other organisations and authorities."
Strategic Workforce Development Manager – Torbay Children’s Services
"The venue was fantastic and it was really busy. There was so much information available from the seminars, but also from the exhibitors on the stands. It’s the first time that I’ve come to a COMPASS event and I really enjoyed it! I’m so glad that I came!"
Social Worker
"We were very impressed by the turn out of candidates. The venue was really good, easily accessible, and the perfect size. The helpful COMPASS staff made things really easy for us. It was also good to network with the other exhibitors."
Business Manager – London Borough of Barnet
"The scale and range of the seminar programme really impressed me. The exhibition hall was a great size and the exhibitors all had big stands and were very approachable. Thank you for a great day!"
