The Purpose The purpose of this programme is to provide a dedicated programme of learning targeted to the role of Supervisory Managers in the Professional Homecare Support sector. For many years NCU Training have worked closely with homecare support agencies providing education and training. This programme reflects years of research and collaboration with industry stakeholders, funders, other training providers and QQI. The programme is specifically designed to use competency based assessments that create realistic, scenario based learning opportunities. The Structure The programme structure was carefully considered and reviewed at length following the industry stakeholder consultation process. The key consideration for employers is ensuring that training could be achieved in as timely a manner as possible while allowing the employee to continue working.. The programme is designed to help the learners to be personally effective learners. To achieve this the programme was carefully mapped, integrated and reinterpreted to create a bespoke programme specifically targeted to Supervisory Management in the context of the Homecare Support Sector. The Assessment One of the key features of the programme is the assessments and how all assessments have been targeted to developing the essential competencies to operate as an effective Supervisor in the Professional Homecare Support Sector. Each assessment instrument has been carefully considered to emulate a realistic work scenario. Similarly the ethos of the assessment development for this programme of learning is to put the end service user at the centre of the service. Person Centred Planning is emphasised throughout all the assessments in the programme. The Vision Our vision at NCU Training is to create a programme of learning that places a professional lens on the role of a Homecare Support Worker in Ireland. This is an industry that is growing at an exponential rate due to our aging population.

There is an NCU Certified component embedded into the programme specifically designed to address the learning gaps for Supervisory Management in the Homecare Support Sector in the currently available CAS awards.
