In Cornwall we have 21 Care Ambassadors 

Who are the Care Ambassadors?

Care Ambassadors are qualified and experienced care workers who act as role models to inspire and encourage young people to think about careers in social care.  They work with schools, offering guidance and advice on the various career opportunities - 

We are funded by Skills for Care and we are a free resource.
