How to become a care worker?
There are lots of different pathways to becoming an adult social care worker. They depend on the type of role you want – some require qualifications while others don’t. Some roles even come with on-the-job training to help you get your first foot on the ladder.
You probably have a lot of the skills required without even realising it. If you are a parent you’ve nurtured, cared, wiped tears away with comforting words, and been highly organised. If you are retired, you have shown commitment, respect, and responsibility. If you are fresh out of college you’ve got the energy and drive to learn new skills.
Go on, take a minute to think about what you have to offer. If you are compassionate, patient, tactful and have a good sense of humour then you will thrive in the care sector. And with many roles not needing a formal qualification, your values and personal qualities will enable you to succeed.
