Make a Difference in People's Lives

As a Social Worker Degree Apprentice at South Gloucestershire Council, you will have the opportunity to complete a BSc Hons Degree in Social Work and progress your career as a Social Worker. This role allows you to make a positive impact on the lives of adults, children, carers, and families, supporting them through challenging times.

What You Will Be Doing

For the first time, we are offering an opportunity to start in February with The Open University. The apprenticeship is taught by experienced social workers in a supportive environment, covering a range of social work specialities, including adults, children, families, and mental health.

The programme consists of six modules, with the first two providing an introduction to social care in the UK and developing your awareness of good social work practice. The third module covers legal issues related to social care and social work, including regulation of social care decision-making. The fourth module focuses on collaborative working relationships and responding to crisis and developmental needs.

Apprentices then progress to a practice-focused work-based learning module, which includes a defined period of assessed practice learning. The fifth module offers a choice from four core option modules, and the final module is another practice-focused work-based learning module.

Throughout the apprenticeship, you will be required to reflect on your role and document acquisition of skills and competencies in your portfolio. You will also have the opportunity to gain experience working in Children's services and Adults services through rotational placements.

What We Need from You
  • You must hold a minimum qualification in GCSE/Functional Skills Level 2 in English and Maths at grade C or 4 and above.
  • You must be employed at South Gloucestershire Council for a minimum of 30 hours per week, with a permanent contract of employment and successful completion of your probationary period.
  • You must have a valid right to work in England for the entire duration of the apprenticeship.
  • You must be employed by South Gloucestershire Council in the following fields of work: Social Work Assistant, those from 0-25, Family and Support Services, Occupational Therapy Assistant, or Personal Advisor, with at least one year of experience in the role by the application deadline date.
  • You will be expected to travel throughout the authority and surrounding area, so you must have a full valid driving licence with regular access to a vehicle or alternative appropriate means of travel.
  • You will be able to demonstrate IT competence through self-declaration.

Please note that an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check for both Child and Adults will be required for this apprenticeship by November.
