    Can anyone tell me what the typical work day of a scp is like?

    Also is it possible for a scp to move into social work?

    Thanks

    Social care is such a varied profession, what sort of area are you interested in?

    I think only if you have or get a social work qualification.

    Quite different jobs, from what I know. SCP is about supporting people with daily living tasks. SW is about making helping people to make changes often in situations where there are legal aspects (eg neglected / abused children, elderly people moving into care).

    would it be possible to do a masters or level 8 in social work after doing a level 7 in social care?
