Gofalwn Cymru / WeCare Wales

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.
