Step up to Social Work
Want a job where you can make a difference?
Social work with children and families is a challenging but rewarding way to make a real difference to people’s lives.
Being confronted with other people’s problems isn’t for everyone. It takes a special kind of person to be a social worker and you’ll need the right professional training to help you get there. If you believe that you can make the difference in a child’s life, social work with children, young people and families could be for you.
If you have a 2:1 degree, have experience of working with children, young people and families and can demonstrate maturity and emotional resilience, you could train to be a social worker in as little as 18 months. You’ll also benefit from around £15,000 to support you through your studies.
Staffordshire County Council are working with the Children's Workforce Development Council to support at least 5 placements within the authority on the Step up to Social Work programme.
To find out more and to apply see the attached leaflet

The closing date for applications is 29 August 2011.
