I have just spent 3 years doing my BSc (Hons) in Health and Social Care as I wanted a complete career change. Since last June I am a care worker at a care home for people with dementia. On the SSSC website the equivalent level was SVQ4 but when I enquired because my wage was much lower than anticipated, I was told that it was because I didn't have my SVQ3 which is at the lower level. My heart sinks at the thought of having to do at least one more year to gain a lower level qualification than I already have! I could not have done the SVQ3 alongside my modules for the BSc because I was working full time in another job which was not connected to health and social care. What other jobs are available to me with this degree - some of the managerial posts in health and social care require a nursing degree. Any ideas?
