They also work in the public sector (including health services, youth justice, and social work) and in commercial organisations. A number can also be found in schools and colleges. Here they operate in different areas including community cohesion, inclusion, learning support, extra- and extended curricular activity, pastoral and careers support, personal, social and health education, citizenship education, and whole school development. In short, these programmes offer preparation for a wide range of career opportunities
