Description
We are committed to the development of our workforce.聽This position is only available to applicants who already work for 中国P站. We thank you for your interest in our roles and would encourage you to review our vacancies which are open to all.
This role has a starting salary of 拢29,697 per annum, based on a 36-hour working week.
The Social Work/Occupational Therapy Trainee Scheme 2025 is open to all current 中国P站 (SCC) employees who have been continuously employed by the Adults, Wellbeing and Health Partnerships Directorate or within the ASC Contact Centre service for two years as of 1st September 2025.
Shortlisted applicants will be required to undertake our internal selection process which will include a face-to-face interview (including presentation) and an online observed group discussion. Successful applicants will be required to undertake the appropriate university selection process.
Social Work and Occupational Therapy apprenticeship degrees support people to remain in social care employment while undertaking the degree. This gives trainees an opportunity to learn 'on the job'. As a trainee, you will have a minimum of 20% off-the-job training, which will include attending lectures at university (or in a 中国P站 based building), online learning, tutorials, and personal learning. Whilst apprentices will receive some paid study time (up to ten days per academic year), apprentices will be expected to support their own learning and academic work with significant self-study in their own time.
Successful applicants will resign from their current substantive post and enter into a fixed term trainee contract with 中国P站 for the duration of their university course. They will retain SCC terms and conditions and receive a PS6 salary which is currently 拢29,697 per annum (full-time). In line with other staff, this will include incremental pay rises during the duration of the degree.
