Insight into Social Work

**We’re currently unable to take further bookings for this activity, please speak to your Hub Manager for other activities we can offer.**

What’s it like to be a social worker?

Students can discover what a career in challenging, yet rewarding situations is like, working in ways that promote equality, diversity and social justice, and making a real difference to people’s lives.

In this session, students will:

• Increase their knowledge of career options through interacting with a current practising Social Worker.
• Hear about what motivated them to become a Social Worker and explore their educational journey and the daily life of a Social Worker.
• Gain an insight into the skills required for a career in social work through real life case study scenarios and Q&A session.
• Understand Level 3 and higher education qualifications required to work in social work including the importance of GCSE’s. ​

After the session, learners will have increased capacity to make informed decisions about their future.

This is a one-hour session.

**Please note, as this session is ran by a current Social Work, we may need to cancel or rearrange at short notice due to responsibilities of the role.**

GM Higher will need to record the participation of learners in line with our funding requirements, so we will ask you to provide a register.
