Bartley, AllenBeddoe, ElizabethFouché, ChristaHarington, Phil2014-11-122012International Journal of Population Research, 2012, 2012 Article number 527510, pp. 1 - 112090-4029http://hdl.handle.net/2292/23466This paper draws on research conducted in New Zealand from 2009 to 2011 with overseas-qualified social workers as members of a global profession experiencing both great international demand for their skills and unparalleled flows of professional transnationalism. In line with the international social work literature, this cohort of migrant professionals offers a range of needed skill and expertise as well as unique challenges to local employers, client communities, and the social work profession as a whole. With a specific focus on mixed-methods data dealing with participants' induction experiences and engagement with professional bodies, this paper argues that migrant social workers have created in New Zealand a transnational professional space that demands a response from local social work stakeholders.Items in ResearchSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
