Health and Social Care

Health and Social Care
Level 2 and 3

Our Health and Social Care qualifications are designed to be extremely flexible and meet the requirements of those working across a wide-range of care sector roles. This could include working in care homes or out in the community supporting individuals and assisting them with their physical or emotional care, daily living needs or maintaining their independence.

The qualifications are tailored to individual learner and business needs to ensure that legislation is met and that the highest level of care is being delivered.

NVQ Level 2
The Health and Social Care programme Level 2 is designed to reflect the work of those who deliver Health and Social Care to adults. This qualification is about direct care where the focus is hands-on care, enablement care and development and maintenance of the clients’ independence. Learners will usually be delivering care in support of and under the direction of a colleague who is accountable in the area of practise. Although this person may not always be in the immediate vicinity while the candidate is working with clients, the learner would be expected to seek support, advice and assistance if they are unclear about what to do.

NVQ Level 3
The aim of the level 3 qualification is to recognise the skills and capabilities of candidates in the workplace. The qualification is about the delivery of physical, emotional or enabling care to clients. The learner will usually be delivering care in support of, and under the direction of, a colleague who is accountable in the area of practice. Learners may often be working without direct supervision.
