HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE

Course summary

Health and Social Care is a course particularly aimed at students who think they would like to work in the health services; with small children, or in caring services (for example social work, youth and community work, probation, housing, counselling or advice work). The course provides you with a thorough foundation in the knowledge, skills and understanding required for these roles. You will need a good standard of literacy and numeracy supported by a general education equivalent to 4 GCSEs at Grade 9-4. WHERE WILL THIS TAKE ME? You could go on to university and then into careers such as social work, residential care management, nursing or the probation service. This course is nationally recognised by employers, meaning you can go directly into employment.
