Leader in Adult Care
Level 5
A Leader in Adult Care 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
The Leader in Adult Care will guide and inspire teams to make positive differences to someone’s life when they are faced with physical, practical, social, emotional, psychological, or intellectual challenges. They will be a leader of the care team and will develop and implement a values-based culture at a service or unit level. They may be responsible for business development, financial control, organisational resilience and continuity, as well as for managing risk and leading on organisational change. A Leader in Adult Care has responsibility for managing community or residential-based services. This role has a large element of leadership, whether with other care workers and networks or in leading the service itself.
Components of the Leader in Adult Care Assessment
Order of Assessment Methods
The assessment methods can be delivered in any order. The result of one assessment method does not need to be known before starting the next.
Performance in the Assessments determines the overall grade of:
• Fail
• Pass
• Distinction
Professional discussion
The professional discussion is for the independent assessor to ask the apprentice questions in relation to knowledge, skills and behaviours as set out in the apprenticeship standard. The independent assessor must ensure that a minimum of one question is asked for each of the knowledge, skills and behaviour groups that are mapped to this assessment method, as defined in the Occupational Standard (e.g. tasks and responsibilities, dignity and human rights, communication, safeguarding, health and wellbeing, professional development, leadership). Steadfast Assessment will select questions from a standardised question bank and adapt these questions based on responses given.
Observation of Leadership
Observation of Leadership must include the ability to demonstrate leadership to an organisational audience. It is expected that the apprentice will lead the activity and will have prepared for this in advance and have all necessary information and evidence prepared beforehand. Apprentices must ensure that the appropriate organisational staff are present at the activity and are notified in advance and the selected leadership activity must be based on real-life improvement to the apprentice’s employer and the users of their services.
