Trainee Social Worker
Approach Social Work (formerly known as the Frontline programme)
Looking for a career with purpose and a clear path for development?
At Frontline – England’s largest social work charity – everything we do aims to make life better for children who need a social worker, to help keep them safe from harm and to give them every possible chance to fulfil their potential.
Approach Social Work is a fully funded training programme that helps you step into children’s social work with the training, tools and support to make a difference.
On the programme, you’ll develop a deep understanding of child-focused practice and how to build relationships that create real change. You’ll also explore anti-discriminatory, anti-oppressive and anti-racist approaches — and earn a master’s degree along the way.
Social work offers stability, progression and the chance to make a lasting difference. On this programme, you’ll be supported from day one and gain the skills, experience and master’s degree to succeed, wherever your career takes you.
The role:
* You’ll learn how to build relationships, make difficult decisions and advocate for children’s safety and wellbeing. That means:
* Visiting a child at home or school
* Supporting a parent through difficult circumstances
* Working with teachers, health professionals or police
* Writing reports and helping decide what’s safest for a child
It’s a role that takes empathy, resilience and strong judgement, rooted in anti-racist, anti- oppressive and anti-discriminatory practice.
What to expect
Year one:
* Begin study for your postgraduate diploma
* Work with children and families within a local authority, supported by experienced tutors and practice educators
* Receive a bursary of £18,000 or £20,000 (depending on location) to help with living and travel costs
Year two and three:
* Move into a paid role as a newly qualified social worker (up to £34,000, or more in some London boroughs)
* Keep working towards your master’s degree
* Join the Frontline Fellowship, a national community offering career-long support and development
Who we’re looking for;
You don’t need experience in social work, just the right values, resilience and commitment to making a difference. We welcome applicants from all degree backgrounds and are especially keen to hear from those underrepresented in the sector, including men and people from racially diverse communities.
What you need;
* Have at least a 2.2 (predicted or obtained) in an undergraduate honours degree (or international equivalent)
* Have obtained GCSE English Language at Grade C/4 or above (or approved equivalent qualification)
* Possess the right to work and study in the UK (including access to public funds) for the duration of the programme (until September 2029)
* To be resident in England by the time the programme commences
* Not be a qualified social worker
Be part of something bigger. Join the next generation of social workers.
