is aimed at middle managers with responsibility for substantial programmes and resources?

Yes. The Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) is explicitly designed for middle managers and senior support staff who oversee substantial programmes, teams, and resources. It targets deputy managers, team leaders, and those with operational responsibility for service delivery, staffing, and compliance. The curriculum focuses on strategic leadership, financial management, and quality assurance rather than direct care provision. It prepares learners for roles requiring significant decision-making authority and resource allocation within health and social care settings, aligning with RQF Level 5 standards for complex, non-routine management tasks.
