Exploring Career Opportunities in Social Work: Assessing Qualifications and Deciding Between the UK and India

I am considering potential opportunities in the UK, as my sister is married to an India-based individual who has been a UK citizen for over 20 years. My academic background includes a BSc in Chemistry and an MCA from a central university in regular mode in India. Additionally, I have completed an MBA and MA in Clinical Psychology through distance learning. In the field of pharmacy, I hold a two-year diploma in regular mode.

My sister has suggested that I apply for a social worker position in the United Kingdom. Considering my qualifications, which include a decade of experience as a manual software test engineer with globally recognized brands, I am contemplating this career shift. However, due to a mental illness, I experienced a career gap of approximately four years, leading to my departure from a prestigious position. Currently, I am engaged in software testing with a smaller company.

I am seeking advice on whether pursuing a social worker role in the UK is a viable option, potentially leading to a work permit. Alternatively, I am weighing the option of continuing my current job in India. Your insights and suggestions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
