Programme Overview
The Senior Healthcare Support Worker: Maternity Support pathway offers a specialised pathway for those who aspire to support individuals and their families during one of the most significant times in their lives. This apprenticeship is ideal for individuals who provide empathetic and effective support to pregnant individuals, mothers, and newborns. Working under the guidance of registered midwives, apprentices will engage in a range of care responsibilities, from antenatal support right through to postnatal care, ensuring the health and well-being of both mother and child.
This apprenticeship is crafted to empower apprentices with the skills necessary to assist with childbirth, provide essential postnatal care, and support new parents in caring for their infants; fostering confidence and bonding. The programme ensures that apprentices are well-prepared to make a significant contribution to maternity care, enhancing the experiences of families during this transformative time. Through hands-on experience and expert-led training, apprentices will emerge as confident and compassionate maternity support workers, ready to make a positive impact in healthcare settings.

The Apprenticeship Process
- Apprentices are allocated a Dynamic Training Skills & Development Coach who will support and guide them for the duration of their apprenticeship
- The apprenticeship programme will be delivered as blended learning, which consists of both online and face to face delivery
- Apprentices need to have good internet access and a suitable device such as a laptop, or tablet to work on
- Microsoft Teams is used for coaching sessions (one-to-one) and for taught sessions (group)
- During your apprenticeship programme, apprentices participate in training, development and ongoing review activities which include:
- Induction (specific to the apprentices’ workplace)
- Taught training sessions
- Internal continuous professional development
- Mentoring/buddy support
- Completion of a portfolio of evidence
- Tripartite progress reviews with the line manager/mentor and the assigned Dynamic Training Skills and Development Coach
Functional Skills
Functional Skills in English and maths form the cornerstone of all our apprenticeship programmes, providing learners with the essential literacy and numeracy skills required for workplace success. Recognising that some apprentices may need additional support in these areas, we offer dedicated functional skills support sessions.
To further reinforce learners understanding and proficiency, we host comprehensive revision sessions every Friday. These sessions are not only supportive but integral in ensuring our apprentices are well-equipped with the fundamental skills necessary for their development.
For a deeper insight into how these functional skills sessions can benefit your team, we invite line managers to join our information sessions where we'll cover the structure, benefits, and outcomes of this essential component of our apprenticeship programmes.
End Point Assessment
To achieve the apprenticeship, at the end of the programme, apprentices will complete the End Point Assessment (EPA), which provides apprentices with the opportunity to demonstrate their competency within their role and to showcase the knowledge, skills, and behaviours they have gained. EPA is undertaken by an Independent Assessment Organisation who is responsible for the grading of the apprenticeship of either Fail, Pass, Merit, or Distinction.
The apprenticeship programme has been designed to equip the apprentice with the knowledge, skills, and behaviours to make an impact in the workplace and support individual career progression.
