Health and Social Care: Adults

Health is a large and complex sector of the economy with a wide range of both employers and occupations – creating a workforce of two million people.

An apprentice working in health and social care will assist senior care workers and social workers to provide care services. All care workers are expected to have relevant qualifications. An Apprenticeship is therefore an excellent starting point.
