Care Leadership & Management Apprenticeship (Standard)

This apprenticeship is designed to support workers at a higher level so that they can meet service and delivery demands and lead the setting workforce. Higher Apprentices will be working as managers of staff and/or services, in general, residential and non-residential settings. The apprenticeship aims to give you the skills to manage the complex demands of running a health and social care setting to a high standard. You will develop your managerial and time management skills to be an effective leader.

With this course, the components are a combined Diploma of both competency and knowledge. The course content is delivered with some taught group sessions, some online content, and a high level of support to help you succeed.

The course consists of both mandatory and optional units. Optional units will specifically relate to your care setting to maximize your learning impact in the workplace.

Topics covered in the mandatory unit group include:

Promoting professional development

Championing equality, diversity, and inclusion

Safeguarding and protection of vulnerable adults

Recruitment and selection

Lead person-centred practice

The optional units include a wide variety of subjects:

Managing physical resources

Understanding how to manage a team

Managing domiciliary services

Leading the management of transitions

Developing provision for family support

Supporting individuals at the end of life

Supporting individuals with multiple conditions and/or disabilities

The optional units combined with the core are designed to enable you to personalize this high-level qualification to your setting's needs. You will develop transferable and relevant skills for the modern health and social care sector.

As an apprentice, you will also need to complete maths and English to a Grade 4 or Level 2 by the end of the program, if not already achieved. (You must be able to evidence any previous grades if this is the case). Maths and English will form part of your learning program with a mixture of online support materials and classes if needed.
