Introduction
The Level 2 Certificate in Healthcare Support Services will guide and assess the development of knowledge and skills relating to the health workforce.
This qualification will confirm competence in a range of healthcare support service skills. Healthcare support staff provide important daily services within the NHS and private care facilities. Staff in support roles work closely with other healthcare teams providing assistance in laboratories and offices, ensuring supplies are available when needed, moving equipment and patients, and looking after grounds and security.
This qualification is aimed at learners aged 16 or above who practice in a relevant position, either through employment or work placement. This qualification is based on the National Occupational Standards for Health and contains both mandatory and optional units. The mandatory units explore the underpinning care principles, whilst the optional units reflect particular specialisms and are selected in line with the learner's responsibilities and chosen career path.
By the end of this course, you will be able to develop knowledge and skills relating to working in healthcare support settings; have experience working or volunteering in a practical placement setting; confirm your competence in a range of healthcare support service skills' Licence to Practice'.
You should be at least 16 years old. There are no formal entry requirements; however, there will be initial assessments for maths and English. It would help if you were working, volunteering, or on practical placement to take this qualification, as you will need to show competencies in both knowledge and skills. Our work placement officer can arrange placements.
As a blended learning course, it is delivered flexibly through a combination of 1-2-1, group, and Independent learning to fit in with your time and work/life commitments. An experienced tutor will contact you when you first start, guide you through the course, and provide 1:1 coaching sessions each week to help you achieve all the elements of the course and provide advice and guidance on progression. Through a combination of 1-2-1, group, and Independent learning activities, we will ensure you are supported to study at home at your own pace alongside online and some classroom sessions.
