Diploma in Adult Care
Accredited Qualification
Course Overview
Dynamic Training proudly presents the Pearson BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care, a transformative journey for individuals who are employed as lead adult care workers that seeking to excel in their roles. This comprehensive programme is meticulously designed to enhance your expertise in adult care, equipping you with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in diverse care settings.
A lead adult care worker will make a positive difference to someone’s life when they are faced with physical, practical, social, emotional or intellectual challenges. They will be expected to exercise judgement and take appropriate action to support individuals to maintain their independence, dignity and control. By providing leadership, guidance and direction at the frontline of care delivery, they will be instrumental in improving the health and wellbeing of those receiving care and support. Lead adult care workers will in some circumstances have delegated responsibility for the standard of care provided and may supervise the work of other care workers. By exercising autonomy and accountability, they will lead and support others to comply with expected standards and behaviours. Lead adult care workers may work in residential or nursing homes, domiciliary care, day centres or some clinical healthcare settings. As well as covering lead adult care workers, this standard also covers Lead Personal Assistants who can work at this senior level but may only work directly for one individual who needs support and/or care services, usually within their own home.
