Supporting you throughout your career progression
We have embedded a learning culture across children’s social care that focuses on providing flexible learning opportunities, giving you the time to learn and apply your learning while having access to mentors, Practice Champions, and senior practitioners when needed.
Student placements
We offer structured student placement opportunities to students studying for a Social Work qualification. These placements provide an opportunity to experience social work first-hand and allow you to apply the theory you are learning and gain valuable work experience.
For students on placement with North East Lincolnshire Council, we provide wrap-around support and an allocated Practice Educator and regular check-ins and workshops by the Academy team.
