Description

Senior Healthcare Support Workers help registered practitioners deliver healthcare services to people.

They carry out a range of clinical and non-clinical healthcare tasks, under the direct or indirect supervision of the registered healthcare practitioner, providing high-quality, compassionate healthcare, following standards, policies or protocols.

There are a number of roles available for senior healthcare support workers and therefore, there are different pathways that can be studied.

By the end of the programme, you will achieve: 

• The Care Certificate 
• Level 2 English and maths (if not already held)
• BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Healthcare Support
• Completion of 20% off-the-job training
• Collation of a portfolio of evidence
• Meet the skills, knowledge and behaviour requirements and to be consistently working at or above the level required of a senior healthcare support worker.

After a period of working and gaining experience, you may be able to work towards an Apprenticeship which enables you to become a registered healthcare practitioner such as Nursing Associate, Registered Nurse or Occupational Therapist.

This programme is available to internal staff only.  More information can be found on the Education Hub: Apprenticeships for Health and Care Support Workforce
