Delivered by Cothrom and Skills and Enterprise Department of Education and Childrens Services, CNES

​

This course is aimed at young people looking for a career in care but who do not have experience in the sector.

​

The programme consists of work experience within a local care setting in Uist & Barra, fortnightly tutorials and ongoing support from a Cothrom tutor.  Mentor support is identified within the workplace for each student.

Achievement of the Social Services and Health Care SVQ at Level 2 will allow students to be registered with the SSSC (the governing body for care and childcare) and equip them to work in the Care & Support Services as a Support Worker
