Mental Health Practice - NA

City College Norwich (incorporating Easton College)

This course is aimed at healthcare assistants and care workers and is designed to offer flexible study around your work commitments. The course also provides a pathway into working in the mental health sector for those with a strong interest in the area and a willingness to volunteer. The course has been designed in conjunction with local employers including Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust and other local health and social care providers, and is an ideal first level Higher Education qualification for healthcare workers in both the public and private sector. This is emphasised by the course accreditation and it is recognised that upon completion, you will be prepared to enter the workplace with the appropriate knowledge, skills and behaviours.   The emphasis on skills for work means that this is a truly vocational programme and will enable you to both ground your learning in the workplace as well as reflect on work practice in an academic context. If you are in employment, you will be expected to receive practical and enabling support from your employers. \ \ You will complete 460 hours of placement on this programme. If you are not already in a suitable role (either paid or voluntary), we can support you to find a suitable placement.  If you have any specific questions about this course, please contact Angie Norris - Course Leader - email angela.norris@ccn.ac.uk The honours degrees and foundation degrees offered at City College Norwich are awarded by the University of East Anglia (UEA) with whom we enjoy Associate College Status.
