Joining us as a Newly Qualified Social Worker is a chance to apply what you’ve learnt to real situations, alongside developing your skills and knowledge.

This is alongside completing our ASYE programme.

Your role will include everything from completing assessments and reviews to working with integrated professionals to manage, negotiate and resolve conflicts. Most of your time will be carrying out practical social work but this is also a perfect opportunity to train, learn and ask questions.
