Who this course is for

This level 5 training programme develops the knowledge, skills and behaviour requirements of managers in various adult care settings that are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), according to the requirements of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

It is suitable for registered, assistant, deputy, unit and service managers.

Entry requirements

You must be able to commit to the full length of the programme, and be able to meet the programme modules through your job role.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop your understanding of CQC regulations and the Health and Social Care Act 2008.
  • You'll learn how to lead and manage teams effectively in adult care settings.
  • You'll build knowledge of safeguarding responsibilities at a management level.
  • You'll understand how to manage quality and compliance within a regulated service.
  • You'll develop skills in person-centred care planning and service improvement.
  • You'll learn how to support staff development and manage performance.
  • You'll understand your responsibilities as a manager for health, safety, and risk management.

How you will learn

This is an online programme. You study through your job role, applying learning directly to your workplace practice. Assessment is work-based: you'll build a portfolio of evidence drawn from your day-to-day responsibilities. You must be employed in a relevant adult care role throughout the programme, as the modules are completed through your work.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Impact Futures The Urban Building will confirm anything else you need before you start. You will need to be in a relevant management or supervisory role in an adult care setting for the duration of the programme.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Registered Manager: lead a CQC-regulated adult care service
  • Deputy Manager: support the registered manager in day-to-day operations
  • Service Manager: oversee delivery across one or more care services
  • Unit Manager: manage a specific unit or team within a larger care setting
  • Assistant Manager: step up into senior operational responsibility in adult care
  • Domiciliary Care Manager: manage home care service delivery and compliance

What you could study next

If you want to develop further as a senior leader in health and social care, a Level 7 qualification in Leadership and Management or a postgraduate qualification in Health and Social Care Management would be a natural next step. Some managers also pursue chartered management qualifications through CMI at Level 7, or specialist programmes in areas such as dementia care leadership or commissioning.
