Who this course is for

The Pearson BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care (England) is for learners in the role of leader/manager in adult care. A leader in adult care will guide and inspire teams to make positive differences to someones life when they are faced with physical, practical, social, emotional or intellectual challenges. They will be a leader of the care team and will develop and implement a values-based culture at a service or unit level. They may be responsible for business development, financial control, organisational resilience and continuity, as well as for managing risk and leading on organisational change. Leaders in adult care may work in residential or nursing homes, domiciliary care, day centres, a persons own home or clinical healthcare settings. The role of leader in adult care also covers personal assistants (PAs) in a management role over teams of other PAs, but they may only work directly for one individual who needs support and/or care service
