Child, Health and Social Care
All of our childcare, early years and health and social care courses give you the opportunity to gain the knowledge, skills, experience and industry qualifications you need to start your career.
About Child Health and Social Care
You will spend time in valuable work placements in different care settings related to your chosen course, such as nurseries or care homes. Your time at college focuses on developing your knowledge in relevant topics such as children’s learning and development, safeguarding, anatomy and physiology and equality – taught by staff who are industry professionals.
#YourCAVC
All care courses have a big emphasis on work placements to make sure you get the practical experience to develop your employability, CV and career prospects. Our Employability team works hard to find the best range of settings for student placements including nurseries, schools and a wide choice of NHS settings.
#YourIndustry
Currently, there are almost 100,000 people employed in South East Wales. Additionally, the region is 19% above national average for jobs in this sector and is predicted to grow by another 4,000 jobs (4%) by 2024 (EMSI, 2016).
#YourFuture
Many students progress into employment in their chosen field after completing their course. This includes roles in nurseries, childcare centres, care homes and youth work. Many Level 3 students go on to university courses including Child Development, Youth and Community Care, Nursing, Social Care and Teaching. You can also study a university course at CAVC, with Foundation Degrees in Care Studies and a popular Education, Learning and Development course.
