FAQs

To enrol in this qualification, you should already hold a Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care or an equivalent qualification. However, if you don’t have a formal qualification but have relevant management experience in the care sector, you may still be eligible through the mature learner route.

The OTHM Level 6 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management is equivalent to the final year of a UK bachelor’s degree (Level 6 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework). It prepares you for senior management roles within the health and social care sector. You can also progress to a Level 7 Diploma or a Master’s degree at many UK universities.

The Level 5 Diploma focuses on day-to-day care management. In contrast, the Level 6 Diploma focuses on strategic leadership, planning, and improving services. While Level 5 prepares you for mid-level roles, Level 6 helps you move into senior management positions.

This diploma opens doors to a wide range of senior leadership and management roles within the health and social care sector. You’ll be equipped to manage care homes, hospitals, or community health projects, ensuring quality standards and compliance.
Typical job roles include:

  • Care Home Manager
  • Service Manager
  • Healthcare Administrator
  • Quality Assurance Manager
  • Team Leader / Supervisor
  • Health and Social Care Consultant

The qualification not only helps you progress within your current organisation but also makes you eligible for opportunities in both public and private healthcare settings, in the UK and internationally.

The OTHM Level 6 Diploma is a recognised pathway to postgraduate study. You can progress to the Level 7 Diploma or a Master’s top-up degree. Many universities offer direct entry into the final stage of a Master’s or MBA.
