Specialists in Care Workforce Development

Pentagon Skills Ltd is an established training and workforce development provider specialising in Adult Social Care and Residential Childcare.

Established in 2016, we work with care providers and individuals across England, supporting the development of skilled, knowledgeable and confident care professionals.

We deliver regulated qualifications, face-to-face training and continuing professional development (CPD), alongside workforce development and quality assurance support for care providers.

Our approach is flexible and employer-focused. We understand that every care service and workforce is different, so we work with organisations to identify their development needs and provide appropriate training and qualification pathways for staff at different stages of their careers.

From supporting those beginning their career in care through to developing experienced practitioners, senior staff and managers, Pentagon Skills provides clear progression opportunities across the care workforce.

For Adult Social Care employers, we can also help identify potential LDSS-funded development opportunities, subject to current funding and eligibility requirements, alongside other qualifications, practical training and CPD.

Our aim is simple: to help care providers develop a competent, confident and continually developing workforce that can deliver high-quality care and support.

My assessor was amazing! Very supportive, patient and always explained everything clearly. She helped me all the way through my Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care and I have now completed it. I highly recommend her — thank you so much, Joanne x

I would like to share my experience of working towards and passing Level 2 in Health and Social Care. Under the guidance of tutor Joanne at Pentagon Skills, I drew on my work skills and all that I have learnt about caring for Service Users. When I was feeling stuck, stressed or struggling, I knew I could turn to Joanne, either over the telephone or Whatsapp and she responded with compassion which soothed any anxiety and helpful comments to improve my work. The reflections I provided in my units were cathartic and I realised how much I had learned from people. The wide range of topics in studying for Level 2 were informative and a valuable learning experience. Most of all, I felt like I could be myself, which helped my work flow and be of a good standard to pass.

I have had Joanne Hamer as my assessor for my NVQ-4. She has been extremely helpful throughout the whole process and her approach was fair and consistent. I really appreciate her being so professional at all times. She gave clear, thoughtful and constructive feedback that helped me to improve positively and progress smoothly. I am so thankful to her professional guidance and kind support throughout.
