From Career Change to Meaningful Employment -Andrew’s Story with LSCP
When Andrew began looking for a career change, he wasn’t sure where to start — but he knew he wanted to do something more meaningful. That’s when he came across LSCP’s adult social care courses and everything started to fall into place.
“I was going through a career change and wanted to try something different” Andrew shared. “Getting into adult social care felt like the right direction, and the course - Preparing to Work in Adult Social Care - at LSCP, turned out to be the perfect first step.”
Andrew first enrolled in the Level 1 course, where he gained essential knowledge about the adult social care sector. The experience was very positive and he immediately signed up for the Level 2 course as well. What happened next exceeded his expectations.
“After finishing Level 1, I was offered a job, which I was really happy about. I accepted the offer and now I’m working full-time with a local charity called Options for Supported Living, supporting adults with learning disabilities.”
Andrew credits the course with boosting his confidence and employability. “It has definitely made me more prepared to step into the workplace. I feel like I can really use what I’ve learned right away.”
One of the standout features of LSCP’s courses, Andrew noted, is the practical support learners receive. “They don’t just give you a qualification and certificate — they also set you up with guaranteed interviews with local social care organisations. That’s how I got my full-time contract.”
He recommends the course to others: “For anyone thinking about a career in adult social care, do it. You get a full understanding of the sector, support from the fantastic tutors, and a clear path into employment. Go for it!”
As Andrew prepares to start his new role officially, he’s filled with gratitude and excitement: “A big thank you to everyone at LSCP. You’ve helped me take a huge step toward a new career.”
