Question

I am 32 and want to know how to get a traineeship in social services?

Answer 1

This is a good site to start...Register with some local agencies that specialise in adult apprectichips/traineeships (They can also be found at this site)

Answer 2

Try to get your masters in social work, or a major in psychology.  Then volunteer or seek employment in that field.  Most agencies require a Masters degree.

Answer 3

In the UK, it is possible to become a volunteer at a Citizens Advice Bureau, which can lead directly to a job in Social Services. I am currently a CAB volunteer and they are providing me with a free training course with certified certificates, as well as work experience. I'm still a student, so I'm only volunteering for two hours per week and completing a Millenium Volunteers' certificate alongside it, but it is possible for a 32-year-old to volunteer for one day a week or a full working week. Contact your local bureau, or send us an email from the official CAB website.
