DEVELOP THE IN-DEMAND SKILLS NEEDED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO SOMEONE’S LIFE.
The care sector is one of the biggest and most important industries in the UK.
Our Health and Social Care courses will teach you the skills you’ll need to work in a variety of roles. Our courses are the first step towards a career in the NHS as a Nurse, Midwife or Paramedic, or a role as a Health Assistant or Carer.
Our courses combine a work placement in a local setting with theoretical knowledge in areas such as anatomy and physiology, human development, report writing, communication, equality and diversity, psychology, sociology, research skills, reflective practice and safeguarding.
Our tutors pass on their knowledge gained from working in the health and social care industry. Sharing their knowledge and experiences ensures that you hit the ground running in your career. We work closely with a range of partners to ensure that you receive high-quality placements that give you the chance to gain insight into working in the sector. We work with Doncaster and Bassetlaw NHS Trust, Sure Start, NHS England, East Midlands Ambulance Service, Notts Mental Health Trust, Bassetlaw Health Partnerships and a range of local residential and nursing homes and other settings.
Whether you’re progressing to further study, an apprenticeship or Higher Education after completing your course, we’ll ensure you’re as prepared as you can be.
