Apprentice In Social Work, HES

HSE South WestCorkFull-timeApprenticeship

The Apprentice in Social Work programme has been developed by an industry-led consortium with University College Cork (UCC) as the lead educational institution.

The 2 year apprenticeship programme merges higher education with work-based learning by providing the post holder with a unique opportunity to gain practical administrative experience within a Social Work team whilst completing college-based learning towards achieving a Level 9 Social Work qualification.

The Apprentice will spend approximately 15 months on-the-job under the supervision and guidance of experienced, professionally qualified Social Workers and 9 months off-the-job completing a total of 3 college-based learning blocks at UCC.

There is a Social Work Apprentice Handbook, which contains additional information on the Apprentice in Social Work, which can be found here:

Following completion of the full-time, structured programme and successful achievement of both the practical and academic elements, the apprentice will be positioned to register as a Social Worker with CORU- the regulatory body in Ireland.
