Becoming a social care worker in a children’s home?
Does anyone have any advice about how I would go about a career working with children in a care home?
What it specifically involves?
and wether anyone would reccomend it?
I’m 19 and starting University in Nottingham hopefully this september to do childhood studies and educational development,at the minute I am studying Sociology, Science and English at A level
Would this benefit such kind of job?
Im also wondering if there is any work experience available with this kind of job, I understand it has its difficulties as its a private and confidential career
I live in Lincolnshire
Any advice would be appriciated

Ask at a job centre they will fill you in. There is plenty of demand. Care worker are normally trained on the job, to NVQ standards.
There is work experience, but you will need a CRB check done, so you need to apply early.
