I am advised by Tusla that the estimated cost of each extra social worker and social care worker recruited in 2018 is as follows:

Pay |

WTE |

Professionally Qualified Social Worker |
49,901 |
5,414 |
55,315 |

Social Care Worker (with Qualification) |
39,049 |

The costings are based on the midpoint of the pay scale and includes employer PRSI and an overhead cost of 25% of basic pay to cover staff travel/office accommodation/other general costs.
