Course summary
This programme is designed for anyone who would like to learn more about management and leadership in health, social care and education. It will help to develop the necessary knowledge and analytical skills, as well as provide an overview of the organisational, legal and policy contexts within which leaders and managers operate with a focus on the challenges and opportunities faced in these sectors. This programme is developed to support the career progression of managers who are currently in managerial posts based in a range of sectors from health, social care and education. The programme design is suited to those in full time employment. The distance-learning mode of delivery supports those in full time employment but allows flexibility of access to materials.

Career progression is varied and may include:
- Regional Manager • Social Services Manager, services manager and service development manager • Family Support Lead Practitioner • Centre Manager • Family Hub Manager • Lead Practitioner • Business Manager
Modules
Level 6 Modules: Organisational Leadership; Leading and Managing Organisational Change; Developing a Resilient Workforce; Integrated Services; Extended Leadership and Management Project. The programme will require approximately 12 hours a week of private study to access materials and engage in wider reading and research. Occasional changes to modules and course content may take place. Students will be notified when applicable.
