We are running a funded training programme for people interested in working in
social care called an Introduction to social care. The three-day training is
available for anyone living in Wales and it will take place on-line. The
training days are over three consecutive days with a workbook to complete. The
times are from 10am-2:30pm. The training will cover the essentials you need to
start working in social care such as communication, safeguarding and working
practices. When you start working in the sector, you will also receive extra
support and training from your employer. If you are unable to access the on-line
training or require support, please contact us at contact@wecare.wales. If you
are unsure about a career in social care, there is a tool you can use to help
you explore this and see what the work is like
www.WeCare.wales/a-question-of-care-intro/. To work within the social care
sector, you will need to have some checks to make sure you are suitable to work
in the care sector, we will help you with these. This will include something
called a Disclosure and Barring System (DBS) check to make sure you can work in
social care. Certain roles also require Social Care Wales registration. This
programme is not an accredited qualification in health and social care. For more
information on sponsorships and working rights please visit www.gov.uk Jobs At
the end of the programme our work coach will assist you, to look for available
vacancies. We can’t guarantee you will get a job in social care, but you will be
in a good position to find employment. The training is free and fully funded,
but you will not get paid for attending. You will receive vital skills and
knowledge as you start your journey into social care.
