It is very different to being a social worker because a care worker helps more with physical attributes of a patient/client. This involves cleaning of the elderly or physically disabled, comfort monitoring, assisting in eating, and mobility assistance. These jobs are a day to day necessity for any person who cannot physically care for themselves. Care workers are one of the most respected jobs in England for all the hard work and respect they hold.

Become a Care Worker
Getting into care work is much easier than what people may perceive. Each care recruitment company has a different level to get into. Having experience is key for joining the carer society. This can be done through volunteer work at local care homes, or getting smaller care jobs.
Qualifications are very important for getting most jobs, and it would help having certain qualifications getting into caring. Most colleges and sixth forms offer classes which provide the necessary qualifications for caring. The necessary educational course would be Health and Social care. In passing these 2 year courses you will be qualified with a Level 3 BTEC (Business and Technology Education Council) in Health and Social Care. This is the best way for school leavers to get qualified.
A fantastic way to get qualified to be a care worker is through Apprenticeships and gaining a qualification called a NVQ (national vocational qualification). This qualification is the best way to get experience within the work environment and gain a qualification out of it. Here at Holistic recruiters we hire Care workers with a NVQ level 2 or 3 in Health and Social care, with at least 2 years experience within caring. Our standard of caring is high so we like to hire the best carers for our clients.
The final procedure to finally becoming a care worker is to have the correct background checks done. Every carer needs a clean background to become and carer, here at Holistic Recruiters we want at least 5 years of previous history of all of our employees. You will need DBS and CRB checks.
Become a Social Worker
Getting into social work is more difficult than getting into care work. Social work has a large requirement of a degree in social work at a University, approved by the Health and Care Professions Council. You have to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council to be a social worker.
To be registered you need a degree Each university has a different entry level, but they all offer the same level of degree. Once you have gotten the degree, in said subject, you will be available to apply for the Social Worker job role.
To get into a university that provides this course you will have to apply through UCAS, and hold the specific qualifications that are used as a point system to get into university. You can get these points through completing A-Levels and B-TECs. Having qualifications in health and social care will help you massively into getting into university.
