Answer 1

If you have a degree in a related field then just do a google search for youth work social work in London. When I did the first site that came up was: http://www.workgateways.com/Social+Work+(Qualified).Youth.Jobs If not then I suggest you volunteer at a local youth center so you can gain experience.

Answer 2

You need to be qualified to call yourself a social worker.I takes three years to get a Degree and it's not easy to get on a course. Keep an eye out in your local press for job adverts for Family Officers, alternatively a magazine called Community Care has adverts for social care staff including the above.Even if you get a job as a family officer it,s not guaranteed that you will be put forward for training.
If you volunteer for your local youth club, you will be in the right place when the jobs come up. For either you will need an enhanced Police check through the Criminal Records Bureau.
Good Luck.
