💬 Hear It From Students We’ve Supported
“I would recommend SIL to anyone looking for apprenticeships in social care as the support is invaluable. SIL prides themselves on the care that we deliver and learning from other carers is a great way to learn.”
“Being with SIL has led me to meet many lovely colleagues and create bonds with the service users.”
“I heard about SIL through college, and through family. They told me about the good reputation that SIL has, and as it was local, it seemed like the perfect fit for me.”
“For me personally, practical learning is the most effective kind of learning! I have learnt so much about social care and communication since beginning at SIL and I notice the impact it has had whilst I am on placements with uni.”
