Start a new career in child and family social work

Graduates and people looking for a career change are being invited to ‘Step Up to Social Work’ and join Plymouth City Council’s Children’s Services team.

Step Up To Social Work is a 14-month, full-time, highly-rewarding training programme for talented graduates and career changers to become the next generation of child and family social workers.

Company Steve Hughes said: “It is great to see these historic buildings get a facelift and combined with all the other improvements is good news for the city centre and our businesses.”

The Plymouth City Centre High Street Heritage Action Zone programme –‘Reinvigorating the Abercrombie Estate’ – is a four-year programme celebrating, enhancing and adapting the city centre’s post-war heritage and making it a more attractive, engaging and vibrant place for people to live, work and spend time.

The Heritage Action Zone project is managed by Plymouth City Council and Plymouth Culture, with support from The Box and Plymouth Octopus Project. It’s part of a £95 million government-funded programme which is being delivered by Historic England to unlock the potential of 60 different high streets across the country.
