Is Nkechi Ardingley a real social worker

No. She is invented for this page, and so are Llanfair Vale Family Services and Caerleon Borough Children's Services. Every figure shows a shape and describes nobody.

How can casework be described without breaching confidentiality

By counting it. A caseload size, an assessment volume, a timescale compliance rate and a number of court reports describe practice precisely and name no family, no child and no case.

Does registration belong on the page

Yes, as a certification with its year. A social work application is filtered on registration before anything else, and a registration mentioned only inside a paragraph is one that gets missed.

What did the checker score it

99 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 2 points short. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% for parseability + 100 × 30% for completeness + 98 × 40% for content. The writing check beside it scored 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied, and the five it withheld are the bullet tense rule.

Is a timescale figure risky

It is a statement about your own practice and it is ordinarily recorded by your employer. Ninety-six per cent of assessments within statutory timescales is a claim a manager can confirm, which is what makes it usable.

Which design is this rendered in

Placard, one of the eight layouts in the ATS family. The eight were chosen from a measurement taken on 2026-09-14: each exports a PDF whose text layer scores exactly what the pasted text scores, on both test documents, in one column, with the reading order kept and no graphics. It reads as a formal document, which suits an application that will be read by a panel.

Count the practice, describe nobody

Eighteen children on child protection plans. Sixty assessments a year, 96% within statutory timescales. Twenty-two court reports and evidence given in nine hearings. Forty family meetings a year with an average of six participants. Every one of those is a fact about the social worker, and none of them is a fact about any family.

That is the whole method for this profession. A team manager reading the page learns the weight this person has carried and the kind of work it was, and no line would be out of place if it were read aloud.

Court work is the line that decides seniority

Writing reports and giving evidence separates an experienced practitioner from a competent one, and both halves matter. The example gives the number of reports and the number of hearings, because preparing twenty-two reports and standing up nine times are different experiences.

The supervision line is the other seniority marker: three newly qualified social workers through their assessed year. On a page for a senior post it does more work than any statement about leadership.

Skills for a social worker résumé, grouped

Nkechi's skills group into statutory work, practice and supervision. Statutory work: child protection, statutory assessment, court report writing, safeguarding. Practice: risk assessment, multi-agency working, signs of safety, care planning, case recording. Supervision: supervision of others. A team manager reads the statutory group first, since it decides which cases you can hold.

Adult social workers group around assessment, capacity and care planning instead. In the free résumé builder you can rename groups to match adult or children's services, and your registration stays in certifications.

From newly qualified to senior social worker

A newly qualified résumé proves safe practice under supervision: caseload held, assessments completed on time, the first court statement. The Caerleon roles show that progression. A social worker adds complexity and court work.

Senior lines add the practice of others: students supervised, audits led, a practice change your team adopted. Count the practice and describe nobody, at every level. The career gap guide helps if you are returning after time away.

How it reads and scores

The import review read three dated roles with five lines under each, one degree, ten skills, two languages and two certifications, the registration among them. The ATS checker scored it 99 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 2 points short: 100 × 30% for parseability, 100 × 30% for completeness and 98 × 40% for content. The writing check scored it 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied here. The same check runs on every example; the method is described here.

What this example leaves off

No case narratives, no family circumstances, no outcomes for any individual and no local authority internal terminology that would identify a team. A team manager reads restraint on the page as professional judgement, because that is exactly what it is.

Training course lists are left off as well. A qualification, a registration and the practice evidence carry the application. Fourteen one-day courses read as a person filling space rather than as a person with a caseload.

What to change for your own

Change the setting. Adults, mental health, fostering, hospital social work and youth offending all use this shape with different statutory language. Then put in your own caseload sizes, assessment volumes, timescale figures and court experience.

Keep the registration with its year, and the practice educator award beside it. Keep one supervision line if you have it. The guide on certifications covers the placement, the design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the nurse example, the pharmacy technician example and the business analyst example sit beside this one.
