You are required to complete a portfolio which is assessed against the DfE Knowledge and Skills Statement (KSS); study time is provided allowing time to undertake research, with access to innovative AI technology including Magic Notes, to reflect and to complete portfolio paperwork.

We are an approachable organisation which wants our NQSWs to thrive in the ASYE programme and then stay with us. This is a great opportunity for your career but also an important factor in providing the right support for vulnerable children and families in our county. The enhanced programme is Somerset’s next step to achieving a permanent quality work force.

Our current Newly Qualified Social Workers have fed back the following:

“The ASYE programme is a really good way to start your career as a Social Worker, there is a lot of support during the programme and a reduced caseload to start with helps ease you into your role as a Social Worker”.

“Really supportive staffing and resources available to help you as a Newly Qualified Social Worker which has been very beneficial in my career”.

“Good quality training and protected develop time, supervision is reflective and regular with emphasis on critical evaluation of practice and self-awareness.

Maintain accurate, high‑quality case records and contribute to effective quality assurance processes.
