The first phases of the pathway focused on direct care and support job roles, with each level relating to a role category.

Role categories currently included in the pathway are:

•  new to care
•  care or support worker
•  enhanced care worker
•  supervisor or leader
•  practice leader
•  deputy manager
•  registered manager 

It’s intended for the pathway to be relevant to the whole sector. Future developments and considerations of wider roles will include middle management and ancillary professions.
