Introduction

Are you great with kids? Do you enjoy helping them play and learn the world around them? Maybe you’ve already done some babysitting? If you think that a job looking after children and young people is for you, this is the perfect course.

This course allows you to explore the childcare and health and social care sectors. It will provide you with an understanding of how childcare and health and social care settings function and the different roles of professionals.

You will undertake two work placements - one childcare and one health and social care.

This course allows you to explore the childcare and health and social care sectors. It will provide you with an understanding of how childcare and health and social care settings function and the different roles of professionals.

We have high expectations of you as this type of role can sometimes be challenging and demands high standards.

You’ll be expected to organise your workload and develop both practical and study skills throughout the course.



Entry Requirements

You’ll need to have four GCSEs at Level Two or above to include Maths and English.

You’ll also need to have two good references (one must be from an employer or a recent school/college report) and be successful at the interview, showing appropriate communication skills for working with children and completing a written assessment.

It is really important for you to have a criminal records check called an enhanced DBS check before you can go on your work placement.

So, you need to be aware that if you’ve received a caution, reprimand or conviction it may mean we can’t enrol you on the course and you won’t be able to get a job in the care and childcare sectors.



Assessment and Progression

Assessment is a range of assignments, group work, and practical activities.

Progression

Successful completion of this programme could allow you to progress a relevant Level Two childcare or health and social care programme or onto an apprenticeship.
