Why train with TLC

The people who help others feel well.

Wellbeing runs through everything TLC does, in care, in kitchens and in classrooms. This sector puts it at the centre: community health, events that bring people together, and the craft of helping someone feel confident and valued.

01

Expert-led, like everything we do

Community health and events learning is coached by people who do the work today. Behind the hair and beauty programmes sit Lino Carbosiero’s standards, techniques and approach to the client.

02

Aligned to the published standards

Community Health and Wellbeing Worker and Event Assistant are delivered to the live Skills England Level 3 standards, with end-point assessment by an approved EPAO.

03

Wellbeing at the centre

Confidence, connection and dignity matter in every setting we serve: community services, events, salons and barbershops, and the care homes where a good haircut is part of feeling like yourself.

04

A coach in your corner

Every apprentice has a named TLC coach, a safeguarding lead they can reach, and a progression route planned before they finish.

The Academy of Beauty and Wellbeing

Inspired by Lino Carbosiero

Our work with Lino Carbosiero brings the expert-led ambition behind the Academy of Culinary Excellence into hairdressing and beauty. It connects technical development with creativity, professional standards and the importance of helping people feel confident and valued, and it is the foundation on which our hair and beauty programmes are being built.

A learner’s story · Wellbeing

Jess, from the front desk to the front line

Where it started
Reception at a GP practice, and the one everyone talked to. The practice manager wanted someone to run social prescribing and thought the receptionist who knew every patient by name might be the answer.
The turn
Community Health and Wellbeing Worker at Level 3. The first group she ran on her own, six people who had not left the house much that winter, and the second week when all six came back.
Now
Runs the practice’s wellbeing programme, works with the local council on community health, and is the reason the surgery’s waiting room is quieter.

“I thought wellbeing was a nice word. It turns out it is a job, and it is the best one I have had.”
