Every year, Portsmouth City Council works with local universities to recruit social work graduates on to a 12-month programme. The programme aims to develop newly qualified social workers' skills, knowledge and professional confidence at the start of their careers.
As a newly qualified social worker you will have an opportunity to be based within one of our locality teams or through care teams for looked after children, to enable there to be a clear focus on the child and their family’s needs.
This will either be working to provide support under children in need or in need of protection where necessary or when children have come into the care of children’s social care.
