Career options for Psychology Conversion MSC

Hiya,
I did a degree in the arts (I thought I wanted to be a teacher) but after volunteering in mental health for a few years I decided to follow that passion. I’ve now been working as a support worker in an inpatient CAMHS unit for a year and want to stay within psychology/mental health. I have decided to do a conversion MSC in Psychological Sciences at Brunel whilst I work as I cannot get funding again to do another undergrad in psych. I’m really excited to get started. However I’m wondering what career options this gives me once I finish? I know AP roles are an option but are very competitive and I’m unsure if my conversion will put me at a disadvantage? Also in my undergrad I only got a 2:2 (was not particularly focused unfortunately). All this combined makes me feel like I need to be aware of as many options as possible career wise. In the meantime I will keep working at the unit and have been running DBT groups with our current AP for some extra experience.

Any advice welcome!
