A career in Social Work is extremely varied, and will expose you to people of all ages, who require support across a range of problems relating to managing their lives. This can include; working with children, families, the older generation, people with mental health problems, physical or learning difficulties, homeless people, refugees and asylum seekers, or people whose lives are affected by drugs, alcohol or HIV/AIDS.
Studying with us
Social work is a graduate entry profession, so you would need to aim for an appropriate university degree. There are a number of ways to get there.
We can offer you different levels of study depending on your GCSE grades:
- BTEC Level 1 in Health and Social Care
- BTEC Level 2 in Health and Social Care
- BTEC Level 3 in Health and Social Care
The Level 3 course is equivalent to A Levels and would give you the entry requirements to some university social work degree courses.
If you are a mature learner (aged 19 or over), and you don’t have the required A Levels (or equivalent) you could consider our one year Access to Social Work course which will give you entry to some university social work degree courses..
