About this course
The Adult Care Worker apprenticeship is for people who deliver frontline care for vulnerable adults within their own homes, day care centres, residential and nursing homes, and other healthcare settings.
This apprenticeship has been designed to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours that your employee needs to excel in their job role. They’ll gain the expertise to provide outstanding care in line with your organisation’s culture.
A caring approach to physical and emotional support will be at the heart of the personalised and inclusive service your employee will provide. They’ll gain confidence in their ability to support the development of those who are in their care.
It’s suitable for people at the start of their career in health and social care. Typical job roles for this apprenticeship include carer, care worker, personal care assistant, and support worker.
Functional Skills: If an apprentice is aged 16-18 and has not previously achieved the required level of English and maths, they will need to complete Functional Skills as part of their apprenticeship programme.
While Functional Skills are no longer mandatory for adult apprentices (19+), literacy and numeracy skills remain essential for success.
For those without prior English and Maths qualifications, we recommend entry level 3 in maths and entry level 3 in English to support career growth and workplace efficiency.
Our tailored support ensures these skills are seamlessly integrated into the apprenticeship journey, helping every apprentice develop these vital skills.
