Social Worker salary in South West

£29,000 – £124,500 (indicative · midpoint £100,092)

How this figure was built. Based on 5 live advertised salaries for this role and region, 1 of which was the source's own estimate rather than an advertised figure. A further listing was excluded as an implausible annual figure, a mislabelled hourly or daily rate, which we drop rather than convert. That is below the 20 we require before publishing 25th/75th percentiles, so this cell shows a median only.

Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Newly qualified social workers start around £34,000–£38,000, experienced and senior practitioners sit in the middle of the band and team managers above it (£50,000–£60,000). Agency locum rates of £35–£45 an hour run well above permanent pay. Family support and housing roles are typically £26,000–£34,000.
