If I do health and social care in college and pass, what jobs can I have? I've always wanted to work around healthcare, so if there's a better course I could choose tell me. The college I'm looking at also has social sciences and childcare.
Hi there
I just finished my FD in Health and Social Care this year and have worked in Health and Social Care for 17 years. The jobs you can do with a Health and Social Care degree are as follows…
Support Worker
Care Worker
Health Care Assistant at a hospital
Health Promotion jobs

From my experience in Health and Social care is you get very poorly paid for the responsibility of the jobs. All I get after doing care for 17 years is minimum wage. I believe childcare is a better paid way to go, especially if you support disabled children. You also need to be able to support people with personal care meaning bathing/ showering them, bottom wiping duties etc and protecting yourself from accusations made by some residents.
