A social care apprentice is someone who trains to work in social care through a combination of paid work and learning.
- Apprenticeships are available at all levels, from entry-level to a leader, and can cover a variety of roles.
- The highest adult social care apprenticeship is the Leader in Adult Care (level 5).
- The lowest level of adult social care apprenticeship is Level 2, which is also known as the Adult Care Worker apprenticeship.
Funding for apprenticeships
Surrey County Council run an Apprenticeship Levy Transfer scheme to make apprenticeships even more accessible for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
