TQUK’s qualifications are tailored and designed to meet the needs and capabilities of those who are working within any Social Care sector, or for those who are looking to establish their career.

Our extensive portfolio of courses include a variety of subjects from the Safe handling of Medicines to Awareness of Mental Health Problems.

When you want to work in the Health and Social Care sector, more often than not you go into it not for the remuneration packages but the satisfying nature of the work and positive effects and outcomes that you can have in the job.

If you want a career where you can progress, have job security, and get an enormous sense of personal achievement from knowing you are helping other people – then perhaps, Health and Social Care is for you.

There are opportunities in the health and social care sector at all levels, from both full and part-time positions and from assistants to management level. Some examples of potential career paths include:

  • Care worker – a core support role designed to help people who need assistance with various personal and daily needs to help them live independently.
  •  
  • Social worker – providing support and guidance for people who need care and assistance, including those with mental illnesses, aged related problems or disabilities.
  •  
  • Community support worker – giving support with indirect needs such as teaching people to cook and clean for themselves, organising their trips and generally helping them with day to day living.

Announcement made by Skills for Care:

The trailblazer group have advised that the revised version of the Leader in Adult Care Apprenticeship standard has been submitted to the Institute for Apprenticeships (IfA) for review and approval. The revisions reflect feedback from stakeholders and requirements from IfA. It’s unlikely to be completed before January which impacts on the planned availability of the standard for delivery from January 2018. Due to this, the IfA will not consider the relevant assessment plan.

In order to facilitate a smooth transition to the new standard and ensure continuity of apprenticeship provision at level 5 the current level 5 apprenticeship SASE framework will remain open for new registrations until 31 August 2018.

This has been agreed between Skills for Care, awarding organisations and the adult care trailblazer group.
The registration period for the existing qualification Level 5 Leadership and Management will be extended by all awarding organisations until 31 August 2018 (agreed by the Joint Awarding Body Quality Group - JABQG).

The new Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in Adult Care will be launched on 1 September 2018 by which time the apprenticeship standard assessment plan will be expected to have been published.
