The Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People’s Services is aimed at individuals aged 19+ wishing to extend their occupational competence as professionals within the health and social care and children and young people sectors, and who are working as care managers or advanced practitioners within these sectors.

This qualification contains 6 pathways, and learners must select one depending on their role and the type of care provision they work in:

  • Children and young people’s residential management
  • Children and young people’s management
  • Children and young people’s advanced practice
  • Adults’ residential management
  • Adults’ management
  • Adults’ advanced practice

*This pathway is no longer the required qualification for managers of residential childcare settings. As of 5 January 2015, the required qualification for managers working in residential childcare and young people’s residential childcare services is the Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (England) (QCF).

You must be an experienced care supervisor or junior manager working within the Adult Care sector to undertake this qualification as on-site observation in a care setting is required in order to fulfill all the relevant criteria.

This depends on the level of your prior knowledge and experience combined with how much time and effort you put into completing the work.

It can take anywhere from a few months to a year or more to complete this qualification but be assured your Assessor will be responsive to those who want to complete quickly and support you to progress fast.

You will achieve a fully accredited, internationally recognised Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People’s Services (England) (RQF) (Children and Young People’s Management) which supports career progression to Manager and Senior Manager roles.

There are no formal prerequisites for enrolling upon this qualification although candidates are required to communicate with colleagues, clients and managers to effectively perform their role. A good grasp of English reading and writing is also beneficial as the course involves written questions and answers.

You will be inducted to the qualification and the e-portfolio by your appointed assessor who will explain the qualification and guide you through the entire qualification process step by step. Your assessor is your main point of contact throughout the qualification and is on hand to answer any questions that you may have.

Underpinning knowledge questions are available via the e-portfolio which a provides 24/7 access to accommodate busy lives and shift work.

Timing of on site assessments will be discussed with your assessor and planned at a convenient time when naturally occurring evidence, relevant to the unit being assessed can be observed.  This ensures that ensuring that each observation visit yields a good amount of evidence which contributes to the progress and completion of your qualification.

Underpinning knowledge is completed on e-portfolio where you will find your knowledge questions and your assessment plans. You will be able to see your overall qualification progress as each of the units are completed.

Practical evidence will be gathered at observation visits where you will be observed carrying out your role. Your assessor may also seek witness testimonies, work product evidence, reflective accounts or carry out professional discussions to fulfil all criteria.

The qualification is considered complete once all questions have been answered satisfactorily. There is no final examination required.

I recently completed my NVQ Level 2 with Pentagon Skills, and I’m very pleased with the experience. My assessor, Joanne, was supportive, helpful and always provided clear guidance and feedback throughout the qualification. I really appreciated her patience and encouragement, which helped me complete my qualification successfully. Thank you, Joanne and Pentagon Skills!

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.
