Many senior support worker jobs generally call for a Community Services Qualification. A Diploma of Community Services can take 12-24 months to complete depending on your study mode (online, on campus or blended) and schedule (full or part-time study) and features a work placement component. A Certificate IV of Community Services can take 12 months to complete depending on study mode and schedule and also features work placement. While these might put you in a great position to find a new job, different positions and locations call for different education, training and experience.
