St Helens offers the Step Up to Social Work Programme. This is a unique opportunity to receive support whilst you are training to start a new career in social work. On the 14th month training programme, you will receive hands on experience of working in a real-life social work role through placements in a local authority, whilst undertaking your qualification. Once you have successfully completed the course, you will be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma in Social Worker, enabling you to apply to register and practice as a social worker.
