Adult Care Worker Apprenticeship Level 2
This is an occupational qualification for those who work in Adult Care Worker roles in England.
Adult Care Workers are the frontline staff who help adults with care and support needs to achieve their personal goals and live as independently and safely as possible, enabling them to have control and choice in their lives which is at the heart of person-centred care. Adult Care Workers may work in residential or nursing homes, domiciliary care, day centres, a person’s own home or some clinical healthcare settings.
You will be required to work a minimum of 30 hours per week and will be provided with six hours off-the-job training per week by your employer to support your training and development needs.
All mandatory units will be delivered via pre-recorded lessons provided by an industry expert. Once a month the College will deliver a community of practice tutorial which all apprentices will be expected to attend. A qualified Trainer Facilitator/ Assessor will support this development via one-to-one tutorials and observations in practice, as prearranged with you and your employer. You will undertake an End Point Assessment process with an independent end point assessor who will grade your apprenticeship achievement as Pass or Distinction.
On successful completion of this course, you could progress onto Higher Education, including a foundation degree at University Centre South Devon or higher-level study in other health or social care areas.
