Course Overview

Learners who undertake the Level 5 Children, Young People and Family Manager apprenticeship will ensure direction, alignment and commitment within their own practice and their team.  Learners will build teams, manage resources, and lead innovative approaches to working practices that deliver improved outcomes and put the child, young person, or family at the centre of practice. They may work either as a Manager in Children’s Residential Care or as a Children, Young People and Families Manager in the Community in a range of settings in local authorities, within health organisations, educational and early years settings or children’s centres, as well as a wide range of private voluntary and community organisations. You could be solely responsible for the management of a team or service or be part of a management team.

With a focus on excellence in practice and improved performance, Learners will encourage Children, Young People and Family Practitioners to gain the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours that will enable them to actively support each child, young person, young adult, and family to achieve their potential. They will inform and improve practice by acting on research and new developments into how the needs of children, young people and families are best met.
