Social care covers a wide gamut of careers including elderly care, paediatric care, hospice care, social work and youth work. To qualify in any of the social care sector jobs, it is essential to first decide the realm of interest: once that is decided, you can enquire at careers offices or websites anywhere in the UK for information regarding your chosen sphere. It is important to remember that not all social care jobs require a degree, so it should not dissuade you from enquiry if you are non-academic.
