The content of the curriculum is strongly influenced by the principles of wellbeing and prevention of ill-health, and the recognition that an individual, their family and/or carer must be enabled to make decisions about their own care. You are required to complete 150 hours placement a year in a care setting environment. After the course: After successfully completing this course you can seek employment in the health and social care sector including management or associate practitioner roles. There is also opportunity for progression on to a part-time top-up degree course or access to relevant pre-registration health or social work programmes.
