The Level 3 (RQF/NVQ) Diploma in Adult Care (England) is one of our most popular social care qualifications. It is an occupational qualification for learners who work within Adult Care settings who have key responsibilities for the delivery of care.
The Level 3 Diploma is suitable for care workers, and those with a level of responsibility in the care workplace. It is expected/likely that you would sometimes work without supervision, that you want to develop or demonstrate your skills, or that you would like to become a senior care worker.
It is an excellent qualification for individuals working in a care setting or working in a service user’s home.
You are likely to be in the following role:
- Senior healthcare assistants/Support workers
- Senior care workers/Assistants/Key workers/Support workers
- Personal assistants
This qualification can help you succeed in a wide range of healthcare settings, such as:
- residential care
- community and primary care
- acute health environments (e.g., hospitals)
- domiciliary services (home care/home help)
- supported living projects
- community-based care
- private care for a person or family.
For those looking to develop a career in care, this is also a possible progression route for individuals moving into supervisory or management roles. It can also be credited towards an access to nursing course in most universities.
