Adult Care
Levels 2 & 3
How does it work?
Adult Care staff provide physical and psychological support to some of the most vulnerable people in our society, making a positive difference in the lives of people facing a wide range of challenges. They also work with families, healthcare professionals and other agencies to coordinate care for their residents and clients. This is a job that requires skill, dedication and compassion, along with first rate organisational skills, resilience and initiative.
We offer Adult care apprenticeships at Level 2 (Adult Care Worker) and Level 3 (Lead Adult Care Worker).
Our approach to delivering apprenticeships
Learning is at the heart of our apprenticeships with an emphasis on practical, interactive training delivery that recognises different learning styles, levels of experience and personal ambitions. We back up our training workshops with 1:1 coaching and support, proactive solutions-based mentoring and excellent communications with line managers, senior managers and learners.
This is a vocational learning programme, and offers many ways to learn, including:
- Training sessions delivered by a subject expert
- 1:1 coaching and mentoring sessions to help you to keep on track
- Written assignments with feedback and guidance
- Recorded professional discussions and Q & A sessions
- Expert witness testimony from your managers and other colleagues
- Observation of you carrying out a mentoring session
- Reviewing work products such as mentoring diaries, agreements, action / development plans

What people say?
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for your support and guidance throughout my
management course. I found our workshops hugely beneficial for both my management
development and personal development – I doubt I would have gone for a promotion
without it! The learnings from it have been invaluable and I have really appreciated your
wisdom and advice as well and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to have taught us”
“Great sessions with Alan, interactive and interesting!”
“A lot of thought has gone into ensuring we get the most out of the training and it supports
us in our development. It’s also been extremely helpful as I’ve transitioned into a new
management role. There is no comparison to my previous apprenticeship provider”
