Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care

Who is it for?

Health & Social Care courses are ever increasing in popularity and as healthcare currently stands as the largest employment sector in the UK. There is a constant and ever-growing demand for employees in this field.

Care Managers manage health and social care services in UK. Some of these services include Care homes, Domiciliary care, Residential homes or Nursing homes.

The UK have added the care Manager role to the shortage occupation list due to the shortage of care Care managers in the UK. This means UK employers can recruit care managers and offer a work permit to work in the UK.

This Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care will qualify you to secure a Job in the UK as a Manager or Team Lead.

This is the main qualification required by the Care Quality Commission in England and the Care Councils in Wales and Northern Ireland.

The Training is delivered on-line via our LMS portal and also Virtual classes.
