Adult Care Worker Level 2 Apprenticeship - West House

Up to 18 months

Job roles are varied and determined by and relevant to the type of the service being provided and the person supported. Adult Care Workers may work in residential or nursing homes, domiciliary care, day centres, a person’s own home or some clinical healthcare settings.

This apprenticeship is fully work-based.

At least 20 per cent of an apprentice’s normal working hours must be off-the-job training, defined as activities directly relevant to the apprenticeship standard which teach new knowledge, skills and behaviours and, if English or maths, are above Level 2.

For a full-time apprentice, this is capped at six hours a week over the planned duration of the apprenticeship.
