Lead Adult Care Workers help people when they're faced with physical, mental or emotional difficulty. It goes without saying that specialist knowledge is a must for the Lead Adult Care Worker, and they also need to have the skills and vision to manage teams. The job can take Lead Adult Care Workers to many different locations, including residential or nursing homes, domiciliary care, day centres and some clinical healthcare settings, and this standard also covers Lead Personal Assistants who may only work directly for one individual.
Apprenticeship Assessment Components
To complete their Apprenticeship Assessment, Lead Adult Care Worker apprentices must achieve a pass, merit or distinction in the following two components.
-
Apprentices are presented with a range of real-life scenarios about which they are required to answer 60 situational judgement test questions. The assessment is undertaken online and under controlled conditions with a time limit applied. The questions are drawn from the stated knowledge and skills elements of the standard and focus on the higher-order competencies.
-
In the concluding assessment element, the Apprenticeship Assessment Assessor leads a 45-minute professional discussion to uncover additional evidence of personal development activities and how this learning was applied to the role and workplace. However, apprentices can only apply to undertake the professional discussion aspect of the assessment after they’ve achieved a pass in the situational judgement test.
