fulfilment survey: social worker jobs in london, manchester and cardiff.

<p>In a survey conducted by Randstad, participants were asked ‘how satisfied are you with your current employer?’ They were asked to select from three categories: fulfilled, indifferent or unfulfilled. People in <a href="https://www.randstad.co.uk/jobs/s-social-care/ss-social-care/r-social-w…; target="_blank">social worker jobs in London</a>, <a href="https://www.randstad.co.uk/jobs/s-social-care/ss-social-care/r-social-w…; target="_blank">Manchester</a> and <a href="https://www.randstad.co.uk/jobs/s-social-care/ss-social-care/r-social-w…; target="_blank">Cardiff</a> were included in the survey.</p>
<p>How would you answer? Nationally, 33% of survey respondents said they were not satisfied with their current employer. With the number of people in work within the UK being 29.84 million, these results suggest that 9.85 million employees are professionally unfulfilled. If you are not satisfied with your current employer, but you still love working in social care or social work, you are probably looking for a new job. But are the results any different on a regional or local basis?</p>
<p>How satisfied and fulfilled are people with their social worker jobs in Cardiff, for example? Or those with social care jobs in Manchester? And London? According to the Office of National Statistics’ 2013-14 personal wellbeing survey, when people in Cardiff were asked to score how satisfied they were with their life, the average was 7.4 out of 10. This accords exactly with the national average of 7.4.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Greater Manchester’s life satisfaction score was 7.3; while Outer London satisfaction levels were 7.3, and Inner London scored 7.2 out of 10. With work representing a large part of life, a lot rides on professional job fulfillment to increase personal wellbeing and life satisfaction.</p>
<p>Research by Randstad surveyed which professions – and which locations – in the UK describe themselves as fulfilled in their jobs. The most professionally fulfilled workers in the UK are based in Wales, where 80% of employees claim to be happy with their jobs. The least fulfilled workers are doctors and nurses, with just 31% saying they felt fulfilled at work (45% described themselves as unfulfilled). 70% of London workers describe themselves as fulfilled.</p>
