An apprenticeship in adult social care involves working with a range of people who require care and support. This can include people with learning disabilities, autism, or physical disabilities.
Some adults maybe need personal care, some may need support to live as independently as possible.
During your apprenticeship in adult social care, you will work alongside experienced staff and complete your qualification in the workplace. It will usually last between 12 months to 2 years, and you’ll be required to complete an assessment at the end of your apprenticeship.
You can apply for an apprenticeship while you’re still in school as long as you’re 16 by the end of the summer holidays.
It’s also possible to apply for an apprenticeship if you’re already working in social care. You will be able to gain new skills and progress into a new role.
“The Dimensions apprentice programme with Lifetime Training was really interesting. I learnt the legal background of support work and now I'm a Support Worker. The programme was definitely worth the work.”
