Locum social worker profile
A locum social worker profile is what an agency sends a council with a social worker for a vacancy. Formatix fills it from the CV and your notes, shows registration, annotations, practice area and terms at the top, and prints "Not stated" for anything that is not given rather than guessing it.
No credit card. Your first ten CVs are free, and the trial credits are valid for 14 days.
What it is
Team managers reading locum submissions look first for the Social Work England number, any AMHP or BIA annotation, DBS, the practice area, statutory work and when the social worker can start.
The Formatix template puts those first: who it is submitted to, the role and vacancy reference; the social worker's name, current title and specialisms; a registration panel; the terms (practice area, availability, notice, rate, base); a practice summary; statutory work; caseload experience; assignments and employment; qualifications and training; and the consultant's note.
Availability, notice and rate come only from your notes. Anything the council will expect that is missing goes on a Still needed box for the agency.

What stays blank
| Field | Why it stays blank |
|---|---|
| Anything not stated | It prints "Not stated". |
| An annotation the social worker does not hold | A Mental Health Act or best interests role on the CV is not shown as AMHP or BIA unless they hold it. |
| Date of birth, home address, National Insurance number, health details | Never printed. |
The Still needed list
The profile ends with a short "Still needed before submission" box for the agency, listing what the council will expect and the documents do not give: for example DBS details, the hourly rate and notice, or the vacancy reference. Remove it before sending.
