The council is investing £3,000 in the campaign, which targets parents of school-age children who are also qualified social workers. The Children's Workforce Development Council (CWDC) is investing a further £3,000.
The council will provide a free return-to-work course comprising 15 days of teaching and five days shadowing a social worker.
Everyone who completes the course will be offered an interview for a post in a frontline children's services team.
Attendees will receive £60 a day from the CWDC.
Mary Angell, Surrey cabinet member for children and families, said: "This recruitment campaign offers a fantastic opportunity for a parent ready to resume their career to get back to work."
