Being a healthcare professional is a very rewarding opportunity, a Care assistant or nurse is the reason there is a significant difference in an individual’s life. And since healthcare professionals provide service of care to the most vulnerable members of our society, from elderly individuals to vulnerable children. A healthcare professional makes positive impacts on the lives of those who need it the most.

When working in healthcare, there are a variety of sectors and roles you can be involved in, such as the NHS, Community, Nursing Homes, Private Hospitals, Complex In-Home Care, and Live in Care. These roles vary from being involved with providing a service of care to children or adults.
