Working in social care means supporting people with their non-clinical needs, although there is an important crossover between working in health and working in social care. Your work could range from anything to providing medication and personal care to helping someone with their shopping or making their lunch for them.
In Hertfordshire alone, there is a workforce of over 30,000 people working in adult sector, and each year we are looking to find around 4,000 more people to work in care. This increased need is due to people living longer and living with more complex health conditions requiring additional care and support.

Care workers support people with all aspects of their day to day living, including social and physical activities, personal care, mobility and meal times. Care workers can work in care homes, people’s own homes or the community, and can support lots of different people including adults with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, dementia and other mental health conditions.
Activities workers organise social activities for people who need care and support, as well as assisting individuals so they can take part. Activities workers are usually based in care homes or day centres, but you could also work in someone’s home or the community.
Social workers help to protect vulnerable children and adults from harm or abuse, and support people to live independently.
