Approach Social Work (formerly known as the Frontline programme) offers a fully funded training path into children’s social work, with the training, tools and support to make a difference. The programme provides day-one support and leads to a master’s degree, helping you build a career with stability and progression.
The Programme
Approach Social Work is a fully funded training programme that prepares you to work with children and families. You’ll develop child-focused practice and learn anti-discriminatory, anti-oppressive and anti-racist approaches while earning a master’s degree along the way.
What To Expect
Year one
* Begin study for your postgraduate diploma
* Work with children and families within a local authority, supported by experienced tutors and practice educators
* Receive a bursary of £18,000 or £20,000 (depending on location) to help with living and travel costs
Year two and three
* Move into a paid role as a newly qualified social worker (up to £34,000, or more in some London boroughs)
* Continue working towards your master’s degree
* Join the Frontline Fellowship, a national community offering career-long support and development
The Role
* Learn how to build relationships, make difficult decisions and advocate for children’s safety and wellbeing
* Visit a child at home or school
* Support a parent through difficult circumstances
* Work with teachers, health professionals or police
* Write reports and help decide what’s safest for a child
It’s a role that requires empathy, resilience and strong judgement, rooted in anti-racist, anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory practice.
Who We’re Looking For
We welcome applicants from all degree backgrounds and are especially keen to hear from those underrepresented in the sector, including men and people from racially diverse communities. You don’t need experience in social work, just the right values, resilience and commitment to making a difference. If you are in your final year of studying for an undergraduate honours degree we’d love to hear from you. Alternatively, you may already have an existing undergraduate degree and be working in a related role such as a youth worker, support worker, teacher, learning support or teaching assistant, care worker, key worker, or social work assistant.
Eligibility Requirements
* Have at least a 2.2 (predicted or obtained) in an undergraduate degree (honours) or international equivalent
* Have GCSE English Language at Grade C/4 or above (or approved equivalent qualification)
* Possess the right to work and study in the UK for the duration of the programme (until September 2029)
* Be resident in England by the time the programme commences
* Not be a qualified social worker
