TQUK Level 2 Diploma in Care (RQF)

Level 2 Diploma in Care (RQF)

It is estimated that 7.3% of the roles in adult social care were vacant in 2019/20, equal to approximately 112,000 vacancies. It should be noted that the data used in this report for 2019/20 was collected prior to the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in England. So we can easily say that the demand for healthcare professionals has skyrocketed more due to the pandemic.

There is predicted to be a mismatch in the supply and demand of social care professionals of 1 million workers by 2025, which will lead to a shortfall on predicted demand of 35%. However, the effect of an ageing population means there will also be a dwindling number of ‘informal carers’ (unpaid care provided by friends and family), which could further increase demands on the social care sector.

Between 2010 to 2030, it is predicted that the number of people requiring informal care will increase by 1.1 million to 3 million as the number of people living alone and away from family support grows. It’s also predicted that the demand for less complex care will rise; this will mean more home care for frail people, further increasing the need for social care providers.
