Why a Social Worker CV is different
A Social Worker CV is read against very different signals to a generic CV in the UK. SWE registration and ASYE status get buried. Statutory framework and assessment work blur together. Caseload and complexity get reduced to 'worked with families'.
Sausage Dog leads with SWE, ASYE, specialism, caseload. Uses real social work language: assessment, S47, CIN, MCA, BIA, court work. Rewrites bullets around statutory work, families and outcomes.
Our underlying research, We read 64 UK social worker job adverts, found that 80% mention assessment. That single signal often decides whether a CV makes the shortlist.

Frequently asked
How does Sausage Dog tailor a social worker CV?+
Sausage Dog reads the social worker job description you paste in, identifies the keywords, responsibilities, and qualifications it asks for, then rewrites your existing CV to mirror that language while keeping every fact in your real experience intact. The result is an ATS-friendly CV in under a minute.
Is the output ATS-friendly for social worker roles?+
Yes. The tailored CV uses plain formatting, mirrors the exact keywords in the job description, and keeps section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) that applicant tracking systems are built to parse. No tables, columns, or fancy headers that break ATS scans.
Will the rewritten social worker CV still sound like me?+
That is the whole point. Sausage Dog rewrites your real bullet points in your tone, not corporate jargon. It does not invent qualifications or experience you do not have, it just sharpens what is already there for the specific social worker role.
Is it free to tailor a social worker CV?+
Yes. You can tailor one CV per day on the free tier with no card needed. Premium (£9/month) gives unlimited tailoring plus cover letters, interview prep, and LinkedIn rewrites for the same role.
