Adult Care Worker
Level 2
An Adult Care Worker Assessment Organisation is an approved company that is responsible for providing assessments for apprenticeships in the field of Adult Care. As an assessment organisation in the Adult Care sector, we will ensure that apprentices meet the required standards and competencies outlined in the relevant apprenticeship standards.
What the Role Entails
Adult Care Workers need to have the right values and behaviours developing competences and skills to provide high quality compassionate care and support. They are the frontline staff who help adults with care and support needs to achieve their personal goals and live as independently and safely as possible, enabling them to have control and choice in their lives which is at the heart of person centred care. Adult Care Workers may work in residential or nursing homes, domiciliary care, day centres, a person’s own home or some clinical healthcare settings
Components of the Adult Care Worker Assessment

The test will be in the form of real life scenario-based multiple choice questions that align with the standard’s knowledge and skills requirements. The MCQ test is graded as Fail, Pass, Merit or Distinction.

Candidates can only apply to undertake the Professional Discussion component once the multiple choice assessment has been achieved
Performance in the Assessments determines the overall grade of:
