Higher Education
For many people looking at a career in care, a university qualification can seem like a remote possibility. They may not have considered it as ever being needed.
However, a university degree is just one step on the development of many care careers. Of course, it does depend on exactly what the career is.
Both social workers and nurses are members of the care profession just as is a care home manager, or a council manager co-ordinating care provision.
While the people undertaking these graduate level roles may have at least one university qualification, it is equally true that many started as care workers and obtained their qualification(s) as part of their career progression.
They may never have envisaged their progression to the roles they have when they first started, but have simply known they wanted to progress and taken opportunity as it came.
Equally, they may well have had a strong vision of their career path at the outset and then did everything they could to achieve their goals.
