Care and education

An important aspect of social work is caregiving. This includes caring for children and adolescents, as well as people who require nursing care and the elderly.

Care professionals work in settings such as daycare centers, after-school care centers, children’s homes, youth residential facilities, reform schools, group homes, and nursing and retirement homes.

The range of career fields is just as diverse as the settings in which they are found. The childcare and education sectors employ professionals with a wide variety of qualifications, including:
• Childcare workers
•
Educators•
Caregivers• Social service assistants•
Therapists
and many others.

There is a high demand in Hannover for skilled workers with these qualifications.
