If you would like to work in a profession that provides care, protection, support, welfare and advocacy for vulnerable or dependent individuals or groups, social care will be of interest to you. Social care workers are committed to the planning and delivery of quality care and other support services in partnership with individuals and groups with identified needs. As well as protecting and advocating for individuals and groups, social care workers guide, challenge and support those entrusted to their care toward achieving their full potential.

 

This programme offers a wide variety of learning opportunities. Students will acquire the knowledge and skills to work with children and/or adults who need support in a variety of settings. We aim to deliver best practice in our teaching to support students to become competent and confident social care workers. The three practice placements linked with this course (800 hours in total) are a central feature of the student’s experience during the four and a half year programme.
