The Step Up to Social Work programme is a unique opportunity to receive support while you are training to start a new career in social work. You will receive hands-on experience of working in a real-life social work role through placements in a local authority whilst undertaking your qualification.

Social work is both a challenging and rewarding career through which you can make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children and families. You will need to build relationships with families facing difficult times, show a lot of patience and be a good listener. You will also need good observational skills, analytical thinking and sound judgement to make the right decisions and protect children. Social work regularly tests resilience, stamina, and resolve - all of which you will need to succeed. Social work can be life changing for those you support.
