Study Health and Social Care
With an ageing population and increased specialist need, the demand for health and social care professionals in our rural and island communities has never been greater. Health and social care provide a rewarding career where you can make a real difference to the lives of people in your community. With lots of career options, we’ve got a range of courses from entry level right through to degree and beyond. Some of our courses are work-based, which means you can work, earn and learn at the same time.

"I am a support worker for adults with disabilities and this course has helped me greatly and will continue to do so in my working life. It has given me greater knowledge and understanding. The style of teaching has been so different this year with online learning, but the tutors are doing an amazing job in such difficult circumstances. Although it's not the same as classroom teaching, I feel the support is there just in a different way. To anyone thinking about doing this course, I would say go for it!”
