Encouraging young people to develop careers in social care
Project Background
This Facilitator project with Borderlinks aims to show young people what this career choice could entail and the enjoyment they could get from it, along with breaking down some of the stereotypes and myths surrounding work in social care.
This will be achieved by working with the people who use their services, and their staff and volunteers to create ways to engage young people in their project activities, and through outreach work within schools and other community services and groups. This project is based in Berwick, England.
