Lead Adult Care Worker
Level 3
A Lead Adult Care Worker Assessment Organisation is an approved company responsible for providing apprenticeship assessments in the Adult Care sector. As an assessment organisation, we ensure that apprentices meet the standards and competencies outlined in the relevant apprenticeship standards.
What the Role Entails
Lead Adult Care Workers are 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. In addition, Lead Adult Care Workers have responsibility for providing supervision, frontline leadership, guidance, and direction for others, or working autonomously, exercising judgement and accountability. Lead Adult Care Workers will, in some circumstances, have delegated responsibility for the standard of care provided and may supervise the work of other care workers.
Components of the Lead Adult Care Worker Assessment
Order of Assessment Methods
The assessment methods can be delivered in any order. Candidates can only apply to undertake the discussion component once the multiple choice assessment has been achieved.
Performance in the Assessments determines the overall grade of:
• Fail
• Pass
• Merit
• Distinction
Professional discussion
The discussion will draw questions and amplifications from prior learning and experience including, where applicable, the candidate’s self-assessment and supporting evidence including testimony from users of services and a sample of standardised candidate questions asked of every apprentice candidate in the interview.
A professional discussion will be undertaken with an independent assessor. The discussion will be of
no more than 45 minutes duration.
Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) Situational Judgement Test
The situational judgement test will present the candidate with a range of real-life scenarios about
which the learner will have to answer questions in a multiple choice format (60 Questions).
The assessment will normally be undertaken online, under controlled conditions with a time limit applied
