Social Work (Scotland) (Q41)

Course description

Want to make a difference in people’s lives? Social work is both challenging and rewarding, supporting and protecting society’s most deprived and vulnerable people. Our work-based online learning route is for those in Scotland eligible to register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC). Successful graduates can apply for registration as qualified social workers in children’s, adult or justice services. If you’ve got a year’s experience supporting service users and carers, and can be released from your role for two contrasting work placements, this could be the perfect next step for you. Sponsored and independent students are welcome.
