Information on Careers Social care and social work offer some of the most rewarding careers. Where else can you make a real difference to somebody's life every day? Perhaps you're thinking about changing jobs – or entering the world of work for the first time. The choice of careers is vast. And with demand for care growing, you can be sure there will be plenty of job opportunities now and in the future. You can choose to work with people of all ages and backgrounds - young children, teenagers, older people, or people with disabilities or health problems. Or if you're not yet ready or able to commit to a new career, why not try volunteering or relief/bank work? Both are great ways to find out if care is for you, without needing to give up what you're doing at the moment.
