    What kind of Care Support Worker jobs have people got?

    I want to do something on the weekends and possibly friday (if I'm free!) but everywhere I've looked so far require an NVQ qualification or you need a car to travel to people's home which I don't have. Does anyone have any recommendations of where I can look or what I can do?

    Im not sure where you are studying but my Mum is a prison officer at a Prison in London, and they regually offer work experience placements within their psychology department to students.

    I applied for one last year and they replied telling me that they offer summer placements for students (basically over the summer holidays)
    Or year long placements.

    If this is something you would be interested in I strongly advise you contact your local prison as I would expect most of their policies to be the same
    Hi, sorry I know this thread was a long time ago! I was just wondering which prison this was? I'd really like to know so I can apply there!

    Thank you!
