The Social Worker Degree Apprenticeship is a rigorous and fast-track route to developing registered social workers, preparing apprentices for the challenging, complex and rewarding world of social work.
The apprenticeship explores the role of social workers within the context of people, society and ethics, to develop confident social work professionals. It builds resilience, encourages problem-solving, and embeds a collaborative approach to improving peoples’ lives.
Apprentices will learn professional best practice as well as fresh academic perspectives, helping to drive social change and improve the lives of service users and carers.

We continue to work hard to drive the creation of new degree apprenticeship standards and programmes.
Delivery of this programme at a Level 7 (PgDip) is currently in development. Subject to final approval from Social Work England, it is expected to be open for applications later in 2024, with the first cohort starting March 2025.
