Bury has many employment opportunities in the care and childcare sector and this course can be your first step into one of these exciting and rewarding careers. During this intensive course you will learn about the role of the care professional and what it takes to excel in this valued career. You will evaluate your current skills and personal attributes and identify skills from your home or hobbies that can be transferred to a role within the sector.
