Social Work Traineeships

Opportunities to train as a Social Worker with Plymouth Children, Young People and Families Service

We are excited about all forms of education that provide opportunities for people to become the next generation of qualified social workers. Different routes bring diversity into the profession and we know that’s a good thing when it comes to achieving better outcomes for children, young people and families. If you are interested in qualifying as a social worker, keep an eye on our Academy website 'announcements' feed and on our application pages. Here we will keep you updated about social work apprenticeships which we run in partnership with the Open University, and the government Step Up to Social Work programme, which we run in partnership with the University of the West of England and a consortium of regional employers. 

In our Academy of Social Work in Plymouth, trainee social workers benefit from impressive financial support and outstanding practice education.  Routes and conditions vary, so do keep an eye on our what’s new pages.
