Do you like working with people of all ages? Are you patient and friendly? Could you stay calm in stressful situations? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then a Health and Social Care career could be for you.
Health and Social Care
Health and Social care is a combination of two sectors:
Healthcare – this is the role of caring for people who are unwell or need special attention.
Social Care – this means working with people of all ages: children, young people, adults and the elderly.
As a single career, this involves caring for people of all ages who need additional help and attention. Roles within this sector include:
- Paramedic/Ambulance worker
- Care home assistant
- Social workers
and many more…
But this list is not exhaustive. All roles that involve working with people who need medical or additional help are classified as working in a Health and Social Care career.
