Hey guys,

I currently work in my Local NHS Trust and I am looking at doing a Social Work degree that I can so whilst working without leaving my current full time role. I would like to know what funding is availiable. I am just finishing my NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care, and I want to continue learning, hence why I would like to go down the social care route. Does anyone have any ideas if where I can access training and funding.

Thanks for your time xx

I work for social services (non operational), I know my council are having a drive where you learn & earn sort of thing. I will look on Monday - day off tomorrow.
Contact your local council social services & speak to them.
A lot of social workers have gone over from the councils to the NHS under the mental health transfer, have you enquired at the NHS too?
