It is crucial for the social worker to have excellent communications skills,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the ability to relate to people of all ages,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], social classes and races and gain their trust as well as have a non-judgemental attitude.
To become a social worker you will need to study for an honours degree or a postgraduate degree in social work, the course must be approved by the General Social Care Council (GSCC).
To get on an honours degree you will need at least five GCSEs (A-C) including English and Math and at least two A levels or equivalent such as a BTEC National Diploma or NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care.
Some colleges and universities may also grant access to students with a Higher Education qualification or relevant work experience, so it is best to check with them what qualifications are required.
When you apply for a course you'll also need to pass a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) background check.
Honours degrees in social work are 3 year full time courses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are some part-time and distance learning courses but you can only do these courses if you are already working in the social area and have with the support of your employer.
For the full time courses, your time will be divided between classes and supervised work placements that will train you to work with a wide range of service user groups as well as prepare you to offer a comprehensive range of experience to employers when you start work.
In case you already have a degree, you may only do a two-year postgraduate degree in social work instead of three years. After completing your honours degree or postgraduate degree you must register with the GSCC, visit their site for detailed information about how to register.
GSCC is also the commission that approves all full-time, part-time and distance learning courses in the UK, with the exception of the Northern Ireland that has its own Social Care Commission, the NISCC (Northern Ireland Social Care Community).
