• We have recently launched our new Wales-wide live chat with expert career advisers. This service is available Monday to Friday and is available for young people in schools and colleges, parents/guardians and those children who are normally home-schooled. It's an opportunity for them to discuss any concerns they have about the next steps and their future options.

To help adults with their employability needs, we are promoting vacancies on behalf of our partners and ensuring we are communicating the redundancy support we can provide to customers during this difficult time.

WeCare Wales Career Cards

To help showcase the various care roles available working with children and adults in Wales, we have launched WeCare Wales Career Cards.

Our Career Cards provide information about roles in care, working with children and adults in Wales. Each card has a unique QR code that links to more information on our website, including videos of real people sharing their experience of working in the roles. The cards also include further learning suggestions and discussion topics to expand learning and awareness of the sectors.

We are working hard to create a digital version of the cards and are hoping it will be available on our website later this year. If you would like a physical copy of WeCare Wales Career Cards for your school or setting, please contact us.
