The Hayat Care Training Programme funds your Care Certificate and Level 2/3 Diplomas in Health & Social Care. You learn, you earn, and you walk into a permanent role with us at the end.
You earn a salary from week one. We pay for the training, the exams, and your time in the classroom. You turn up, learn, and qualify.
One week of paid classroom-based training covering the fundamentals: safeguarding, manual handling, medication awareness, first aid, dementia basics, and equality & diversity.
The nationally-recognised qualification for adult care workers. Delivered on-the-job with monthly assessor visits. Covers person-centred care, safeguarding, communication, health & safety.
For those ready to step up into senior carer or team-lead roles. Optional but fully funded. Covers advanced care planning, clinical skills, leadership & supervision.
Most private training colleges charge £1,500–£3,500 for the same qualifications. We pay for everything — and pay you while you learn.

Most of our best carers came from outside the sector. If any of these sound like you, we'd love to hear from you.
Coming from retail, hospitality, teaching or office work? Your people skills transfer. We'll teach the rest.
School-hours patterns, term-time options, and a team that understands family comes first.
A real career with real progression — not a stop-gap. Average Hayat carer is 23; our care manager is 28.
If you have the right to work in the UK and speak conversational English, we'll help you with the rest.
Want meaningful part-time work with great team support? Many of our carers are in their 50s and 60s.
Many of us have cared for our own family. If that's brought you here, you already know the most important parts.
Yes. Hayat Care funds the full cost of the Care Certificate, Level 2 Diploma, and (if you choose to progress) the Level 3 Diploma. There are no fees, no loans, no hidden costs. We also pay your salary while you're in training — even the classroom week.
No formal qualifications are required. You need the right to work in the UK, conversational English, and a DBS check (which we pay for and process). If you can read this page, you can start.
The Care Certificate takes 1 week of paid classroom time. The Level 2 Diploma typically takes 6 months part-time alongside your normal shifts. The Level 3 Diploma is another 6–12 months. You can stop at any stage — you don't have to do all three.
The Care Certificate is delivered in-person at our training venue. Diplomas are a mix of monthly in-person workshops and on-the-job learning with assessor visits. We cluster training days to minimise disruption to your rota.
You can resit — no penalty, no judgement. We support every learner until they qualify — extra mentor time, additional assessor visits, and rescheduled exams are all part of the programme. We will not let you fall through the cracks.
Yes. The Care Certificate is the UK-wide mandatory standard. Level 2 and Level 3 Diplomas in Health & Social Care are recognised by the NHS, social services, and care providers across the country — so your qualification travels with you.
2-minute application. No CV needed. We'll be in touch within 5 working days.
