Level 5 Apprenticeship

Leader in Adult Care

About this course

This apprenticeship is for care team leaders who wish to hone their leadership skills to develop and implement a values-based culture within their team or organisation.

Adult care leaders need the skills to guide and inspire teams to make positive differences to people’s lives. This apprenticeship is suitable for those within your organisation responsible for business development, financial control, resilience and continuity as well as for managing risk and organisational change.

Your employee will explore the systems and processes that monitor and sustain quality of care including assessments, care plans and service delivery. They’ll also look at compliance with regulations and your organisational policies and procedures. Learners will polish their skills in leading and supporting others to work in a person-centred way. Other key areas include communication, dignity and human rights, safeguarding, health and wellbeing, professional development and leadership.

This apprenticeship is suitable for people already working in a senior role within health and social care.

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 level 1 in maths and level 2 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.
