The transition to leadership bridging programme tackles barriers that learners face in accessing level 4 qualifications within the adult care sector. The course aims to boost staff confidence and ambition, empowering them to advance in their careers within the adult care sector towards leadership roles.

Crafted with expertise, the curriculum ensures learners gain a comprehensive understanding of leadership and innovative change management in adult social care settings.

This bridging qualification equips learners with the knowledge and tools to progress onto a level 4 qualification such as the lead practitioner in adult care apprenticeship or level 5 leader in adult care apprenticeship.

What’s more, thanks to local funding from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, this qualification can be completed for FREE and has no residency restrictions for those who hold a valid Health and Care Worker visa.

This is the ideal programme for care workers who want to move into management-level roles such as deputy manager or team leader, but don’t have a level 4 qualification for whatever reason. It aims to break down barriers to make progression possible.

Over just four weeks, learners will complete their studies which will cover topics such as:

• How to effectively promote a vision and positive business culture as a leader
• The role and responsibilities of a leader in an adult social care setting
• Theories and models of change management and good practice
• Introduction to coaching and mentoring, effective customer service and the role and purpose of staff supervision.
