Our Health and Social Care pathways equip you with the essential skills and knowledge needed for a rewarding career in one of the UK’s largest and growing employment sectors.

You'll learn how to provide compassionate care to those who need it most, with hands-on experience through work placements that complement your academic studies.

Covering key topics like dementia care, safeguarding, and medication management, our courses prepare you for a range of careers working with both adults and children in public and private care settings.

Please note - T Level in Health entry requirements (L3). In addition to at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English and maths, the Level 3 T Level in Health also requires a grade 4 or above in Science as one of the GCSEs.

The course has taught me the right specific skills needed to care for individuals and I’m glad I’ve had the opportunity to apply them skills in my placement.
