Leader in care
Level 5
How does it work?
Running a care home or service is a demanding and rewarding role. Responsibility for the welfare of those receiving the service is of course at its heart, along with leading and motivating a team and achieving organisational goals – all while working within the values, beliefs and vision of the organisation you work for. Our programme provides an ideal environment for leaders to learn from each other, access current care leadership thinking and improve outcomes for everyone.
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 certain aspects of your performance, for example chairing meetings
- Reviewing work products such as reports, action plans, minutes, appraisals or other records

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”
