Course summary
We are immensely proud of the Degree Apprenticeship programme. Apprentice Social Workers are provided with excellent learning opportunities and support to build on their existing knowledge, skills and practice experience. The Apprentice Social Work degree programme is successful in part because we have established strong Teaching Partnership relationships with Norfolk and Suffolk County Councils and the University of East Anglia, which commenced in 2017. The Teaching Partnership enhances the quality of the apprenticeship programme by bringing innovative approaches to learning, practitioners into teaching, as well as even more opportunities for practical experience and learning from people who have had social work services. More information about the Teaching Partnership.
Social Work is an exciting and fulfilling and deeply rewarding international profession. As a Social Worker you will work in partnership with adults, children, carers and families in a range of different settings to support and promote positive change in people's lives in order to improve their wellbeing and independence. Within the context of relevant Social Work legislation, you will use your professional judgement and build relationships with a variety of individuals and communities, as well as with a wide range of other professionals and agencies.
The tutors and people who use services and practitioners bring a diversity of experience to the course, and direct links to current practice through the Teaching Partnership, ensures your learning is up to date. What is more, during your degree the teaching team provides academic guidance and careers support. All of this advances employability in time for graduation. Service users and carers with a variety of experiences and knowledge are involved in many elements of social work education. It is a fundamental part of the activities at the University of Suffolk.
The Apprentice Social Worker is a 37-hour per week job and the Apprenticeship programme is funded by Suffolk County Council and applications are advertised annually via Suffolk County Council Jobs and Careers.
