Locations

Thank you for your interest in Approach Social Work. Please read the below instructions to ensure you complete your registration form correctly.

1. Enter your postcode, or the postcode that you intend to complete the programme at, in the location finder below. This will show you the locations closest to you. We don’t work in all locations, just the ones listed on our map.
2. The pins tell you the postcode for this location (scroll down in the box to see this if needed). Click on the Get directions link to be taken to Google Maps.
3. Enter your postcode and calculate the commute time. It’s vital you do this to arrive by 9am on a normal working Monday, changing ‘Leave now’ to ‘Arrive by’.
4. Enter the midpoint of your rush hour commute time onto the registration form. If your commute to the nearest location is not within our commuting limit, you are unfortunately not able to register at this time. 
5. All locations outside of London require a drivers licence and access to a car. Locations within London require participants to commute by public transport as London offices rarely have parking available.
6. Check if any other locations are within our commute limit, if so please enter these as second or third choices. To ensure the best chance of securing a place at one of our assessment centres we would encourage you to select all commutable options within our commute limit.
7. If you choose an ‘Apply now’ (purple) location you will be sent the link to complete your application form after registering. The ‘Register now’ (pink) locations we expect to be able to open for applications soon but you cannot currently apply. Please complete your registration form and then you will be first to know when we are accepting applications for these locations.  
8. Complete the rest of your registration form and submit it!

Applicants  are far more likely to complete Approach successfully when they have an appropriate support network nearby. We are highly unlikely to place relocaters in locations  where they do not have existing ties.  

Acceptable commute limits vary by local authority, due to geography and demand for places. Our rush-hour commute limit is 45 minutes for the majority of locations. A small number of locations have a commute limit of 60 minutes. These are Darlington, Devon, Durham, North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Swindon, Wiltshire and Worcestershire.
