Health & Social Care - City of Wolverhampton College

Health & Social Care

If you want a career in health and social care, an apprenticeship is a great way to learn the skills you need, whatever part of the sector you want to work in. 

With programmes at beginner level if you’re just starting out, up to HND level for more experienced practitioners, an apprenticeship will enable you to work in a relevant role in the health and social care sector while you’re doing your training – and, because you’ll be doing a real job for a real employer, you’ll get paid too! 

Whether you do your apprenticeship in a hospital, GP surgery, private clinic, opticians, care home or social services setting, you will combine on-the-job training with studying towards occupational standards set by employers, learning-on-the-job alongside experienced colleagues in the workplace rather than sitting in a classroom all day – and because you’ll be doing a real job you’ll get paid too!   ,

What’s more, you’ll be supported throughout your training by college staff who will work closely with your employer to ensure that the skills you are learning are what is required by their business and that you will achieve your full potential and career aspirations.

We have excellent relationships with local employers and develop training to meet the needs of their businesses, so you can be assured you’ll gain the skills that they are looking for in their employees – and, if you impress them during your training, you may even be offered a job when you’ve completed apprenticeship. 

And, did you know that apprenticeships aren’t just for new staff? if you’re already employed in the industry and want to improve your skills and boost your promotion prospects you can benefit from apprenticeship training too – just ask your employer to email employerenquiries@wolvcoll.ac.uk and a member of the team will contact them to discuss your training further. 

Apprenticeship vacancies are being added to our website all the time – take a look at the latest opportunities here
