About this course

Level 5 Leadership and Management for Children, Young People and Families in the Community Course in Stourbridge. Classes run at PhemaGrace Stourbridge, with full-time daytime attendance over 24 months. This leadership and management for children, young people and families in the community qualification develops the skills to lead teams, manage resources, and drive better outcomes for children and families. You'll learn to build effective partnerships, shape working practices, and put the child or family at the centre of every decision. No specific entry requirements apply, though Level 2 literacy and numeracy is desirable.

Who this course is for

Within the Children, Young People and Families Manager apprenticeship, apprentices will ensure direction, alignment and commitment within their practice, team(s), organisation and across partnerships to help children, young people and families aspire to do their best and achieve sustainable change. They will build teams, manage resources and lead new approaches to working practices that deliver improved outcomes and put the child, young person or family at the centre of practice.

They may work either as a manager in children’s residential care or as a manager in the community in a range of settings in local authorities, within health organisations, educational and early years settings or children’s centres, as well as a wide range of private voluntary and community organisations. They could be solely responsible for the management of a team or service or be part of a management team. To deliver effectively on a wide range of outcomes they will work on a multi-agency basis with professionals from a wide range of backgrounds, as well as team leaders and managers from their own organisation.
