- Aberdeen College, United Kingdom
- HNC Social Care
I had been working with children and teenagers who have learning difficulties and providing respite care and support to parents for several years before I decided I decided to come to College to study for my HNC in Social Care. Although I have plenty of experience, most employers expect you to have a qualification to support your practical skills and the HNC is well recognised in the caring profession.
The work placement which I did as part of the course helped demonstrate to employers that I have the right balance of knowledge and practical skills to work in a caring role.
Having the HNC really helped me when applying for jobs and I am now working as a Relief Support Worker for Cornerstone Community Care, based in the Ellon area supporting adults with learning difficulties in all aspects of their daily lives.
If you are studying right now or you have completed your studies, then help future students by sharing your experiences.
