Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) provide system-wide care to assess, treat, diagnose and discharge patients across social care, housing, education and independent and voluntary sectors. Through adopting a holistic approach to healthcare, AHPs are able to help manage patients’ care throughout the life course from birth to palliative care. Their focus is on prevention and improvement of health and wellbeing to maximise the potential for individuals to live full and active lives within their family circles, social networks, education and training and the workplace.
As a social worker, you'll work with people to find solutions to their problems. This may be helping to protect vulnerable people from harm or abuse or supporting people to live independently.
We have a range of social work apprenticeships available.

Healthcare Assistant Practitioners work as part of the wider health and social team and have direct contact with people who use our services.

This apprenticeship also provides a great foundation to then move onto further training such as BSc Adult Nursing, BSc Mental Health Nursing and much more.
