Agency offers bursaries to social work students

Reed Social Care has become the first recruitment agency to
offer bursaries of £3,000 to students on the social work
degree.

In exchange for the bursary, students are asked to work for the
agency for a year after they qualify and will also be given the
opportunity to work through Reed Social Care at weekends and during
holidays while they study.

“These bursaries will provide a much-needed boost to those
studying the new social work degree and I hope that it will
encourage other companies to support the profession in this
way,” said agency director Angela Morris.

Anyone undertaking the new degree is eligible to apply for one
of the 10 bursaries, which are being promoted through a national
advertising campaign.
