The Role of the Care Worker

What's covered on the day?

This session will cover the essential knowledge required for any new care worker or established care worker commencing with an organisation in a new role. It will provide them with key information on roles, responsibilities and ways of working, although the principles will remain generic, and company specific information should be supplemented in this course.

Assessment

Learners will complete a knowledge assessment at the end of the course allowing them to demonstrate their understanding and application of the information into their role as a Care Worker. Companies can link this training with The Care Certificate also for Unit 1 – Understand your role.

The knowledge assessment can be used as evidence of completion within the portfolio and included within continuing professional development hours.
