Working in health and social care offers the chance to make a real difference in people’s lives every day. While the roles across both sectors often overlap, the environments and methods can vary—giving you a wide range of opportunities to find the right fit for your skills and interests. At every stage of life, individuals may need help to live as independently and meaningfully as possible.
