For frontline care professionals delivering high-quality support in a range of care settings.

To work in care is to make a positive difference to someone’s life when they are faced with physical, practical, social, emotional, or intellectual challenges. Adult Care Workers need to have the right values and behaviours, develop competences and skills to provide high-quality compassionate care and support.

They are the frontline staff who help adults with care and support needs to achieve their personal goals and live as independently and safely as possible, enabling them to have control and choice in their lives, which is at the heart of person-centred care. Job roles are varied and determined by and relevant to the type of the service being provided and the person supported. Adult Care Workers may work in residential or nursing homes, domiciliary care, day centres, a person’s own home, or some clinical healthcare settings.

This Apprenticeship covers both Adult Care Workers and Personal Assistants. Personal Assistants do the same job as an Adult Care Worker and work directly for one individual, usually within their own home. Working with people and feeling passionate about supporting and enabling them to live a more independent and fulfilling life is a rewarding and worthwhile job which provides excellent career opportunities.
