Course Details

The purpose of the TQUK Level 5 Diploma in Leading and Managing an Adult Care Service (RQF) is to develop the knowledge, understanding and practical leadership and management skills required by individuals responsible for leading and managing adult care services. The qualification supports learners in developing the professional competence needed to manage services effectively while maintaining high standards of care, safety, quality and person-centred practice.

Learners will develop the ability to lead person-centred and outcome-based services that meet regulatory and quality requirements. They will gain an understanding of how to respond effectively to the operational, strategic and ethical challenges that can arise within the adult social care sector, while promoting positive outcomes for individuals receiving care and support.

Through achievement of the qualification, learners will be able to demonstrate effective leadership and management practice in adult care settings. This includes leading and supporting teams, managing resources, promoting continuous improvement, making informed decisions and working collaboratively with individuals, carers, families and partner organisations.

The qualification content aligns with the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Leadership and Management in Care Services and has been developed in association with Skills for Care.
