BA (Hons) in Social Care Work (Limerick) in Limerick Ireland | Technological University of the Shannon

Social Care Work focuses on building relationships to deliver intentional care, safeguarding, emotional support, and advocacy for marginalized or disadvantaged individuals and groups with specific requirements. It is grounded in social justice and human rights principles, as outlined by the Social Care Workers Registration Board, CORU.

This program includes two semesters of practical placements, as it is an applied discipline. Social Care Workers typically assist individuals with physical or cognitive challenges, at-risk youth, abused or neglected children, families in need, addiction recovery programs, homelessness services, elderly care, and various environments like residential facilities, day centers, and community programs.

The curriculum prioritizes both professional and personal growth necessary for this demanding sector. Graduates pursue careers with organizations such as the HSE, TUSLA, government bodies, nonprofits, and community agencies.
