SWIIS recruitment news

At SWIIS we celebrate our 21st birthday in 2009, making us one of the longest established organisations of our type in the Uk. We initially opened our doors in Ealing in 1988 as a Social Work Employment Agency. SWIIS is now a much larger organisation, whilst still a recruitment organisation we now also operate a highly regarded OFSTED registered Foster Care Agency and more recently we have developed CSCI registered Care and Support Services.

SWIIS was founded by Dev Dadral, who along with his wife Kamla are still very much involved in the business with Dev currently acting as Chairman and Kamla involved as a Director.  

As we move into 2009 and approach our 21st anniversary it is an appropriate time to express our gratitude to everyone who has helped in the development of the organisation over this time, our Clients, Locum workers and SWIIS staff past and present. Thank you all.

SWIIS Interpreting Division, based in Birmingham has been appointed one of two suppliers to provide face to face Interpreting Services to people in Staffordshire. The contract starting immediately is initially for a period of 2 years with an option to extend for a further two years.

SWIIS has been providing Interpreting and Translation Services since our inception in 1988. The service helps people to access services which without this input may prove difficult. It now covers face to face Interpreters and written Translated Materials for all major languages as well as BSL (British Sign Language) Braille and a Telephone Interpreting Service.
