Enquire here for fees

This new qualification has been developed to better align to the senior healthcare support worker apprenticeship standard (V1.3+)

The role of a healthcare support worker is absolutely vital to the effective running of many healthcare environments, from hospitals to GP surgeries. Having the skills needed is therefore vital to be able to work in this demanding role.

The new Highfield Level 3 Diploma in Healthcare Support (RQF) has been developed for individuals working in a role within healthcare settings, and is aimed at learners in positions who typically help registered practitioners deliver healthcare services to people. Learners will carry out a range of clinical and non-clinical healthcare tasks and will provide high quality, compassionate healthcare, following standards, policies or protocols. They may work in a range of services, for example hospitals, community settings, health centres, someone’s home, nursing or care homes, hospices or GP surgeries.

The qualification covers core content that applies to the healthcare sector with a variety of optional units covering additional knowledge and skills applicable to learners in the following specialisms:

Adult Nursing Support
Mental Health Support
Children and Young People Support
Maternity Support
Theatre Support
Allied Health Professions Therapy Support

It can be taken as the mandatory on-programme qualification for the Senior Healthcare Support Worker apprenticeship standard.

Topics include:

Personal development in care settings
Safeguarding and protection
Infection control
Promoting person-centred values in healthcare settings
Understanding mental ill health
Undertaking physiological measurements
Effective communication in Care Settings
Cleaning, decontamination and waste management

LEVEL 4 DIPLOMA IN ADULT CARE
Enquire here for fees

This qualification will support learners to develop specialist knowledge and skills in their area of responsibility and enable learners to promote a values-based culture within their setting. This qualification can act as a progression route from the Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care qualification to the Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care qualification. The qualification also aligns to the Apprenticeship Standard for Lead Practitioner in Adult Care.

LEVEL 4 CERTIFICATE IN PRINCIPLES OF LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT FOR ADULT CARE

Enquire here for fees

The objective of the qualification is to introduce adult care leadership and management and to prepare learners to progress into further/higher level training such as the Highfield Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Adult Care.

The qualification covers the essential knowledge required in adult care and support, as well as management. Those learners who enter the sector from graduate entry programmes must also achieve the same level of preparedness to work as a social care manager. Those learners who have no direct experience of care and support will require placements or voluntary work alongside the qualification.

The qualification aligns with the Management Induction Standards and provides the learner with the knowledge and understanding to be able to move into a management role. This qualification is suitable for those learners who are either:

working at a level 3 and aspire to progress into management.
Working as Managers (new in post), who wish to use this qualification to support with the Manager Induction Standards

Career progression is a key element in retaining and growing a high-quality workforce for the adult social care sector in England. Progression into management roles is particularly important and workers with excellent care and support skills at level 3 may be unprepared for the very different knowledge and skills required as a manager. Therefore, this qualification has been developed as a direct route from the level 3 into level 5 management qualifications.
