Approach Social Work (formerly known as the Frontline programme)
Looking for a career with purpose and a clear path for development?
As a social worker, you’ll work directly with children and families to make sure children are safe, supported and able to thrive. It’s a career that offers stability, progression and the chance to make a lasting difference. On this programme, you’ll be supported from day one and gain the skills, experience and masters degree to succeed, wherever your career takes you.
About The Programme
Approach Social Work is a fully funded training programme that helps you step into child’s social work with the training, tools and support to make a difference.
On the programme, you’ll develop a deep understanding of child‑focused practice and how to build relationships that create real change. You’ll also explore anti‑discriminatory, anti‑oppressive and anti‑racist approaches and earn a masters degree along the way.
What to Expect
Year One
* Begin study for your postgraduate diploma
* Learn alongside 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)
* Keep working towards your masters degree
* Join the Frontline Fellowship, a national community offering career‑long support and development
You’ll learn how to build relationships, make difficult decisions and advocate for children’s safety and wellbeing. That means:
* Visiting a child at home or school
* Supporting a parent through difficult circumstances
* Working with teachers, health professionals or police
* Writing reports and helping decide what’s safest for a child
It’s a role that takes empathy, resilience and strong judgement, rooted in anti‑racist, anti‑oppressive and anti‑discriminatory practice.
Who we are looking for
You don’t need experience in social work, just the right values, resilience and commitment to making a difference. We welcome applicants from all degree backgrounds and are especially keen to hear from those under‑represented in the sector, including men and people from racially diverse communities.
Eligibility Requirements
* Have at least a 2.2 (predicted or obtained) in an undergraduate honours degree (or international equivalent)
* Have obtained GCSE English Language at Grade C/4 or above (or approved equivalent qualification)
* Possess the right to work and study in the UK (including access to public funds) 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
Real support. Real skills. A career that matters.
