NVQ Level 4 Leadership and Management in Care

Leadership and Management in Care

The national minimum standards for care require that managers in care homes will need to have a qualification relevant to the care provided and a qualification in the management of services at NVQ Level 4. This qualification focuses on the task of managing a care service and is the correct choice for managers of care homes. This includes services for older people, people with learning disabilities and people with mental health problems.

To gain the full NVQ four mandatory units and four optional units must be achieved. Two of the optional units have specific relevance to managers of children's services.

As the combination of units for an individual will vary depending upon their work role and work setting, we will be pleased to offer free, friendly and impartial advice on selecting the most suitable units for each learner.
