New to care
At WeCare Wales you can learn about the roles available, search for jobs, work experience and volunteering opportunities.
Make care your career
Social care, early years, childcare, and play are at the heart of our communities in Wales. These roles support some of the most vulnerable people in society—helping adults live independently and supporting children to learn, grow, and thrive.
As demand for care and support continues to rise, we need more passionate people like you to step into these vital roles. The sector is growing, and so is the opportunity to build a meaningful, rewarding career.
Whether you're just starting out, looking for a change, or returning to work—now is the perfect time to join a sector that truly matters.
Our aim
WeCare Wales aims to help attract more people to work in social care and early years and childcare in Wales and show the variety of roles and career progression opportunities available. By using real care workers, we focus on the challenges they face as well as what makes their work rewarding and worthwhile.
How we can help

You will improve the health of the individual through physical, emotional, and social support. You will help people develop or maintain their independence, dignity and respect.
Your journey into childcare
Being a part of a child’s development, seeing them at play and helping them explore the world is a rewarding job. Whether you want to lead a team or work for yourself from home, there’s a role for you.
