Qualifications and Training
How can I become a support worker? What training will I need? What qualifications are available?
You don’t need any specific qualifications to start work for us as a Support Worker, but there are several training options available that will help you progress in your career in social care.
For new recruits, we use the Government approved Adult Care Apprenticeships to ensure that you get trained up and qualified, while you work as a Support Worker at the same rate of pay as your colleagues. It’s a great way of getting on-the-job training while being paid too.
Working towards vocational qualification such as the Diploma in Health and Social Care at Level 2 or 3 is a great way of building your professional development and gaining the skills needed to deliver excellent support.
