Career opportunities
Typical destinations for graduates:
- Care Coordinator: domiciliary and residential services
- Support Team Leader: supervisory care roles
- Community Programme Worker: charities and local services
- Health Administration Officer: provider back office roles
- Safeguarding Support Officer: with experience
- Postgraduate Study: care leadership and public health routes
Reality check: care sector pay at entry level is modest and shift based, so the honours award pays off through progression into coordination and management rather than through the first job itself.
