Health, Social Care and Childcare
If you are looking for a rewarding career, then the health and social care sector would suit you perfectly. Potential career paths include nursery nurse, nanny, social worker or carer.
We offer A Level Health and Social Care, a range of vocational courses from Level 1 right up to Level 3 and various apprenticeship options.
You could even progress to one of our higher education courses. We currently offer Foundation Degrees in Care and Support; Education, Learning and Development; and Early Childhood.
Our Health and Social Care students are able to learn new skills at the College’s mock ward which features hospital beds, a hoist and an x-ray screen.
