Qualifying as a carer in the UK

[lastlid]

Hi there Mark, welcome here to the forum

What type of care work is your wife interested in?

Child
Elderly
Residential Care units
Community Care
Nursing Home
etc etc

Here in UK there's no requirement for any specific qualification to gain entry level employments as a carer.

Thats correct as my daughter did exactly that a few years ago, got a job as a care assistant without any recognised carer qualifications. She then got a job as an assistant Dietetic Nurse, without any nursing or carer qualifications. However now she is studying (in her final year) as a State Registered Nurse.
