If you are currently employed in health or social care or are looking to begin a career in these fields, Northumberland College has a wide range of learning opportunities that could help you achieve your ideal job.

Our full time, part time and short courses range from entry level to foundation degree. Flexible learning options are available, with choices of daytime, evening or work based learning.
Our courses offer opportunities to progress in your current career, continue studies at university or prepare for entry into health and social care positions in nursing, mental health, counselling or allied health professions like occupational therapy.

Our experienced team of highly qualified tutors have been practitioners in these fields and now deliver externally validated courses that are accredited to national standards.
We work closely with professional organisations, employers and higher education institutions and have many links with local health service providers.

If you’re starting out in health and social care you can gain valuable work experience on placements at a range of health and care organisations.

Those already working in the field can take advantage of our range of work based learning opportunities.

Students can also extend their vocational experience through a range of certificated short courses, including first aid.
 

Here’s what Ofsted had to say about the department at the 2009 inspection:
