    Brief

    This apprenticeship program develops social workers internally within the council, creating a workforce with strong understanding of organizational values, policies, and local systems. By training apprentices in-house, the council benefits from improved staff retention, reduced turnover, and decreased reliance on agency staffing. This approach provides continuity of care for service users through stable relationships with consistent decision-making. Suitable candidates should demonstrate commitment to social work practice and willingness to develop professional capabilities through structured on-the-job training combined with academic study at Level 6 qualification.
