Care to make a difference in County Durham

The Care Academy has supported over 120 people into employment in social care and offers free practical help and support to get you started in your career.

Anne is a care worker and at 70 years old says she still loves working in social care:

“I love the feeling I get from helping others to live as independently as possible in their own homes.”

If you would like to get the kind of job satisfaction Anne does, then why not come to the Care Academy and start your career in care.

All you need are your natural caring qualities as you will train on the job and be supported to complete any qualifications you need.

We offer lots of opportunities to progress, with flexible hours to fit around your life.
