    About this event

    Following on from our popular Working in Adult Social Care, Information Session, these half-day training sessions are designed for people who are ready to take the next step. Whether you've just attended one of our information sessions or have no formal care experience, this is where your journey really begins.

    Sessions run for 3 hours and are led by people who know the sector inside out. You'll leave with a solid grounding in the essentials of social care, knowledge that will not only prepare you for the workplace but give you a real edge in interviews.

    Who is this session for? This training is open to everyone; no previous care experience is required. It is particularly well-suited to anyone who has already attended (or is booked on to) a Working in Adult Social Care, Information Session, as well as individuals already registered in the Bury CARE Academy talent pool with no previous care experience.

    If you're brand new to social care and haven't yet attended one of our information sessions, you're still very welcome to join, though you may find it helpful to attend an information session first to get a feel for the sector before diving in.

    On the day, you'll cover the following topics:

    1. Understanding your role
      1. Adult Safeguarding
        1. Effective Communication
          1. Working in a Person-Centred Way

            You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions, speak with people who work in the sector, and find out more about the roles available to you through our partner providers in Bury.

            • Gain the foundational knowledge that employers expect from new recruits
              • Understand the values and standards at the heart of good social care
                • Get interview-ready with content directly relevant to what employers ask
                  • Connect with the Bury CARE Academy team who can support your job search
                    • Take your first confident steps into a rewarding new career

                      Places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Sessions are expected to fill quickly, so please register as soon as possible.
