Social care specialisms

Social care workers provide specialised care for those requiring support. As Skills for Care says, "No two days are the same." Our courses focus on empathy and a person-centered approach, valuing each individual's uniqueness and applying strengths-based principles. Employers and those who rely on care and support agree: the people who work in social care are the sector’s greatest asset.
