About Us

TRAIN TO BECOME A QUALIFIED SOCIAL WORKER AND START A NEW CAREER IN CHILD AND FAMILY SOCIAL WORK! 
The Step Up To Social Work Cohort 8 programme in Wandsworth is now open for recruitment to aspiring social workers!
Step Up To Social Work is a 14-month, full-time training programme for talented graduates and career changers to become the next generation of child and family social workers supporting vulnerable children, young people and families. It is designed for people who want to become a social worker but do not yet have a degree in social work. Successful applicants will train through a combination of academic study at Kingston University and hands on social work experience within our local authority.  This is a unique opportunity to earn while you learn, as the Department for Education provides funding via a tax-free bursary payment of £19,833, over the duration of the programme, as well as full payment of University tuition fees for successful applicants. 
Applicants eligible for the programme will be individuals with experience of working with vulnerable children, young people, families or adults, and who can demonstrate emotional resilience and potential for success. Successful applicants will be invited to complete an online written exercise, as well as being invited to an assessment centre held in June 2023. Students will commence on the programme in January 2024 and finish in March 2025. Once you’ve successfully completed the course, you’ll be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma in Social Work, enabling you to register and practice as a social worker.
Online applications are now open and will close at noon on Monday 3rd April 2023.
