Graduate Internship (Admissions and Support)

A little bit about the role 

This advert will close at 9am, 20 September 2024

As a member of the Admissions & Support team, you will play a key role in ensuring all participants starting Approach Social Work have passed eligibility checks for the programme.
​​
You will provide a positive Admissions & Support experience for all applicants and offer holders, supporting them throughout the onboarding process to complete checks, keeping them engaged prior to the programme start.

In supporting the pre-programme process for the Approach Social Work Programme, you will be supporting the recruitment and development of new social workers, who will then go onto change the lives of vulnerable children and families. 

We think the internship at Frontline is unlike other internships. You’ll be given plenty of opportunity to develop key skills for your future career, while also holding a core role within the team. 

You will be joining us at our busiest time and so will have day to day coordinator responsibilities throughout the year. This makes it a great first step into your career as you’ll have real practical examples to take forward. As part of the internship, you will also have the opportunity to work on individual projects and learn more about all aspects of the Frontline organisation.

Some key responsibilities include:

• Support applicants and offer holders in completing key eligibility checks including right to work checks, qualification checking and references
• Support communications with applicants and offer holders during the Admissions & Support processes​
• Maintain accurate data on our customer relationship management (CRM) system, including the management of confidential and sensitive data​
• Work independently and with other interns to hold responsibility for projects

A little bit about you 

We’re looking to see 2023/2024 graduates, wanting to take their first step at Frontline whilst also contributing to our vision and mission. The role will suit someone who is people-focused, with a keen eye for detail and enjoys being part of a strong team.

We have a fast-moving culture within the team and organisation, so we’re looking for someone who is who is well organised, details-focused and can use their initiative to do what works. You will have excellent communication skills, be able to build relationships with people and be willing to learn. There are lots of opportunities for growth and development in this role – and for the right candidate to make the role their own. 

If you feel you have the skills to make a real impact and contribute to creating lasting social change for children and families, we would love to hear from you. 

Important information

We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater racialised minority representation in our senior roles. We know the value racialised minority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply. We are also a disability confident employer and welcome applicants with disabilities.

We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) such as ‘ChatGPT’ etc can be useful for applicants e.g. to shorten an initial draft, so we do not attempt to have an absolute ban on AI in applications. However we would caution applicants not to rely too much on AI in drafting answers to application questions. We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you. You are more likely to be able to produce that kind of content yourself than an AI will.

We reserve the right to close this role ahead of the deadline once we reach a suitable number of applications, so please apply as soon as you can!

You will need to have current right-to-work in the UK prior to application and for at least the first six months (for permanent positions) or for the full duration of the contract (for fixed-term positions). Visa sponsorship is not guaranteed.
