Social workers are the advisers, advocates, and counsellors for the vulnerable and disadvantaged members of society. As a social worker you'll be aware of the impact of social issues including poverty, deprivation and inclusivity. Working towards solutions and managing individual's unique problems, social workers strive to improve the quality of life for others. This course will help you gain a detailed understanding of the processes, policies and procedures in place to help you make the best decision possible for your case. **Why study this subject?** Are you looking for a career where you can make a real difference to people’s lives? Do you possess patience and perseverance? Do you want to empower and support people who may be at risk? Then you could become a Social Worker. The choice to become a Social Worker is not a decision that should be taken lightly. At BNU, we want our students to be committed to their future career and determined to make a difference to the lives of others. As a Social Worker you'll be aware of the impact of social issues including poverty, deprivation and exclusion. Working towards solutions and managing each individual's unique problems, Social Workers strive to improve the quality of life for others. You'll be faced with complex situations and challenged to balance tensions between care and control for the welfare of every person you work to support. **Why study at Buckinghamshire New University?** With an excellent teaching team to support you, we do all we can to prepare you for your career as a Social Worker. Your experience at BNU will shape your development and build upon your skills so by the time you leave us you'll be independent and ready to make a difference. We're looking for students with life experience and preferably you'll have worked with a variety of people either in employment or as a volunteer - this may include working with young people, for a charity or in a care home. We want to see your previous success of helping people and a determination to continue doing so. Our lecturers, all of whom are former Social Work practitioners, have a rich vein of practice experience to draw from which will really bring your learning to life and ensure theory is always linked to practice. You tutors remain up to date with the latest sector changes and many of them lead, or are otherwise involved in, forums discussing and influencing the future of Social Work. We also have course lecturers who are published authors in the field. One of the best things about studying Social Work is sharing the experience with other students. Some days will be intensely emotional, so it’s important that you have a friendly team around you. We pride ourselves in our ability to get to know all our students personally so you'll be supported by a personal tutor in groups no bigger that ten. We recognise how crucial Social Workers are in the community so we've designed our course to reflect the standards set out by Social Work England and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) meaning our graduates can apply for registration as a professional Social Worker straight away. Work placements play a big part in this degree programme and you'll be given the opportunity to gain experience across a wide variety of settings in order to develop your knowledge and deepen your understanding. Our Social Work team sources placements within a 25-mile radius of the High Wycombe campus, including Local Authorities, Healthcare Trusts and voluntary and independent sectors. The practice learning opportunities are full-time and you'll be required to work the hours dictated by these agencies. Social Workers engage in relationship-based practice and at the same time must fulfil the expectations of their employing organisation, which requires excellent abilities in prioritising work tasks and time management. Our course will prepare you for this so you feel confident when you take your next steps beyond graduation.
