SOCIAL CARE
BROGHAN (2013)

BECKY (2014)
* Left with a range of level 2 qualifications, including health and social care.
* Became a health care assistant, later promoted to a senior carer in a dementia care home in Salford. Going to university in September 2020 to begin an adult nursing degree.
* Advice for current students: “Don’t stress too much; enjoy your final years. Believe it or not you will miss it when you leave! Take up offers of help from your teachers, and find a balance between work and play. Remember that career change and uncertainty is ok. I studied hairdressing at college; now I’m moving into nursing. Life is not a straight line of knowing where you want to be. It is curved, so allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them. Get the grades you are happy with, and the journey will be less scary.”
