Experience Requirements:
Applicants are required to have some work experience in a social care setting. There is no time limit for when this work experience was completed, however more recent experience would strengthen your application.

The programme will also consider, in exceptional circumstances, those applicants that have personal experience as an individual with social care needs or as a carer. For example, applications from individuals that have been a primary carer, on a substantial and regular basis of a relative, friend, or neighbour or a child/young person looked after by the Local Authority – that is, a care experienced person. In such circumstances, applications can also be strengthened with additional volunteering/paid social care experience.
