National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ)

At Ludlow Street Healthcare we pride ourselves on our record of developing and supporting staff to gain NVQ’s relevant to their role. This is actively encouraged as it is an important part of continuously improving skills and standards. Staff successful in achieving their NVQ’s are invited to an award ceremony to receive their award from a Director of the Company. Current NVQ’s we are supporting staff through include:

• NVQ 2 in Health and Social Care 
• NVQ 3 in Health and Social Care
• NVQ 2 in Customer Service
• NVQ 2 in Catering

National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ’s) are work-based awards in England, Wales and Northern Ireland that are achieved through assessment and training.

To achieve an NVQ, candidates must prove that they have the ability (competence) to carry out their job to the required standard. NVQs are based on 'National Occupational Standards' that describe the 'competencies' expected in any given job role. Typically, candidates will work towards an NVQ that reflects their role in a paid or voluntary position. For example someone working in healthcare would look to take an NVQ in Health and Social Care, in a reception post, maybe an NVQ in Customer Service.
