Health and Social Care

A career in health, care or education is more than just a job. It is an opportunity to make a real difference to people’s lives every day.
The health, care and education sector offers a huge range of rewarding career paths, from care work and support roles to nursing, childcare, teaching support and management.

Whether you are looking to start a new career, return to work, volunteer, or build on your existing experience, we have a course to suit you.

If you are currently providing unpaid care for a family member or friend, thinking about volunteering, or looking for your first role in the sector, our courses can help you build confidence, gain recognised qualifications and improve your employability.

For those already working in health, care or education, we offer professional development opportunities to help you strengthen your skills, refresh your knowledge and progress in your career.
 
Whether you want to gain a qualification, prepare for promotion, or stay up to date with current practice, we can support you in taking the next step.

We also work closely with employers to provide training for teams and organisations. From short professional development courses to tailored programmes designed around your workforce needs, we can help you support staff development and improve the quality of care, learning and support you provide.

New for 2026

We are pleased to be launching new Health and Social Care Apprenticeships from April 2026.
