Introduction

To work in this sector it is essential to enjoy working with people and genuinely want to support them. It will be challenging but if you have good listening skills, observational skills and the ability to relate to people without being judgmental you could enjoy a variety of roles in this sector. You could go into healthcare or youth justice services. You could help reduce crime in your community, help children develop social and practical skills, make sure people get the medicines they need – the possibilities are endless.

You will develop the skills necessary to work with children or vulnerable individuals and several courses have a strong vocational element, which is ideal if you wish to gain practical experience in a working environment. You will be able to specialise in childcare, health care or social care and will also have the opportunity to take additional qualifications as part of your studies. We offer apprenticeships in Children’s Care, Learning and Development and Health & Social Care.

We also offer a number of CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body) counselling courses, which are essential if you intend to pursue a career in counselling.
