Standard Qualification Requirements


Upper second-class Honours degree, preferably in a social science discipline. A minimum of six months of directly-relevant experience in social work, social care, community work or a closely-related activity is essential. In very exceptional circumstances, candidates who do not have an Honours degree may be considered, if they have very extensive professional experience and can demonstrate academic ability at graduate level. We're more concerned with the quality of experience than whether or not it's paid. It's useful to think about experience in three dimensions - duration, range and depth. While longer and more diverse experience is of great value, depth (or quality) is perhaps more important since this is what allows learning and professional development.
