Adult Care Worker Apprenticeship

On this course you will:

• Develop your skills in communication
• Learn to put people at the heart of all strategies
• Learn about wellbeing, health and safety and safeguarding of individuals
• Learn about safe moving and handling, infection control, supporting those with either mental health or a learning disability
• Learn to exercise judgment and accountability

Apprentices will need to be working towards and achieve the following job role requirements before their end point assessment:

• Support individuals to have control and choice in their lives
• Monitoring health
• Assisting with eating, mobility and personal care
• Supporting with social activities

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary.

As a guide, you will need GCSE grade 4 in English and Maths. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme.

You need patience, understanding, a strong desire to work with people and good communication skills. You will be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check for your employer.

If you are 19 or over, functional skills are not required unless requested by the apprentice’s employer.
