Course Overview

There is an ever-growing need for versatile, adaptable, and skilled health and social care professionals. An aging population with evolving needs, coupled with an expanding range of services being provided in the community and people's homes, means that roles and practices within health and social care are undergoing rapid change. This course has been carefully designed to equip you with the necessary skills, abilities, and knowledge to thrive in health and social care and make a positive change for good. You'll study all aspects of the profession from a holistic standpoint, including critical issues in the care of people at every stage of life, as well as covering policies and trends, and social and psychological approaches to care.

Health and Social Care practitioners are employed in a wide range of organizations and specialties. Many works for the National Health Service and Social Care organizations but there is a growing number of opportunities in the private sector as well as the Independent sector.

Professionals work with people of all ages from childhood through to the end of life and support people with physical or mental health needs, learning disabilities, and those whose opportunities are restricted by circumstance.

Practical interview and self-development skills are taught and practiced and students have opportunities to meet with local employers to develop an understanding of what makes a successful candidate for a specific job role.

Opportunities are provided for students to explore the employment possibilities of the NHS, Social Care, Private Sector, and Voluntary Organisations. In addition, the course acts to support the development of key transferable skills required by different settings, enabling students to apply for such jobs within the voluntary sector, private sector, public sector, or NHS.

Graduates from this course will also be highly competitive candidates for further postgraduate study at MSc, MPhil, and Ph.D. levels.
