This qualification is designed to support the development of registered managers of adult social care services. The qualification provides learners with the knowledge and skills needed to work in adult social care and to have responsibility for leading and managing a service. This will include managing and improving care and support for those accessing the service, supporting and developing the workforce, and driving the vision for their service or organisation.

This qualification is most suitable for those working in a managerial role in adult care settings who are looking to progress their career. It is also appropriate for managers who have not yet achieved a vocational qualification at level 5.

There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification but learners will need to be at least 19 years of age. It is also recommended that they hold a level 3 qualification or above in a related area. This qualification is suitable for those who work within the adult care sector.

Progression opportunities Learners who achieve this qualification could progress into employment in a senior role in the adult care sector. Learners could also progress to further qualifications in management and leadership, either in a generic context or specific to the adult care sector.

Learners will need to complete a portfolio of evidence demonstrating how they meet the requirements of the qualification.
