At Buckinghamshire Council, our Social Work Academy provides a comprehensive and supportive Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) programme. Designed to help Newly Qualified Social Workers (NQSWs) thrive, our structured programme combines high-quality training, dedicated support, and carefully managed caseloads to help you develop the skills, confidence and resilience needed for a successful career in social work.

From day one, you will join your substantive Locality Team or Children in Care Team, enabling you to build strong relationships and establish a supportive professional network from the outset. Our tailored induction programme includes classroom-based learning, shadowing opportunities, reflective practice, joint visits, and direct support from experienced colleagues.

Throughout your ASYE year, you will benefit from:

• A protected learning and development day
• Dedicated support from a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner and ASYE Assessor
• Carefully phased caseload allocations based on your progress and experience
• Bespoke ASYE workshops, portfolio support and peer learning opportunities
• A strong focus on wellbeing, resilience and professional development

We are committed to investing in the next generation of social workers and developing practitioners who can demonstrate excellence in practice and make a meaningful difference to the lives of children and families across Buckinghamshire.

Join a council that is ambitious for its workforce, passionate about learning, and dedicated to helping you become the best social worker you can be.

Buckinghamshire Council is a relatively new organisation that combines the strengths and expertise of the previous five councils in the county to create positive change for local people, communities, and businesses. We are firmly focused on the future and have made a clear commitment to serve residents better and to provide stronger representation for Buckinghamshire, both locally and nationally.

Buckinghamshire is an ambitious, rapidly growing county, and our economy is one of the strongest in the country. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty and ranks as one of the top rural areas to live in the UK and yet it is incredibly well connected– only an hour from London on the train. The county has a rich history and heritage and is the birthplace of the international Paralympic movement.
