Graduates achieving the Postgraduate Diploma will be eligible to register and practice as a social worker; if your local authority has vacancies you will be guaranteed an interview for a social worker role in children and families’ statutory social work. The starting salary for a social worker in most authorities in this region is around £30k per annum.
The qualification also opens up career paths within a wide range of statutory, private, voluntary and independent organisations providing services to vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals, children, families, groups and communities.
