Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I assist individuals with their day to day life, Things like personal care, meals, medication, shopping, cleaning and finances. I also have to contact correct people when necessary like Doctors, occupational therapist’s, district nurses and social workers. I help to rehabilitate individuals and get them back on their feet.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I really enjoy my programme. I have started to do this as I was to achieve more in my life and build my future to become higher up the table and succeed as a qualified nurse. This has always been my dream and I believe one day I will reach that goal.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
When starting with AMG I was not half as knowledgable as I feel I am now. I have learnt how to deal with day to day situation, I have seen how other people live and their lifestyles. I have adapted to how individuals like this and we have to respect their wishes.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
My programme is very well organised. It is easy to understand and very straight forward. I like how we have an app so we can access our work whenever we want and it’s quick and easy. The structure of my work is great also as it’s easy to understand.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
My employer is good and bad in ways. Communication with the office staff is not great, my work is not really local anymore meaning I’m having to travel most of my days. On the other hand I have been with AMG nearly 4 years now and they are good for their standard of care and we have great training services to develop further in our knowledge.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I have a great tutor who assists me when needed, we have contact throughout the month until we have out review meeting. If I ever need help I can call my tutor and she will help me straight away, she is not hard to get hold of and very reliable.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I think it will help me to succeed to where I want to be in the coming future. I want to become a qualified nurse so therefore me doing this course will make me one step closer to working in the hospital and experiencing a lot more within a nursing role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
I cannot think of any extra curricular activities to get involved in at work as we work in the community and rarely have continuity with our service users so therefore we don’t have the time to get to know them and do activities with them. We only do that if we work on packages.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend AMG Nursing and Care Services to a friend?
Yes
Why?
AMG is a good care company in the perspective of we deliver a good service of care. We have great training services and before I started I did not know half as much as I know now. That is from learning myself but also leaning from my training we have.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to AMG Nursing and Care Services?
My advice would be to make sure when you are applying that you apply for work within your area you live in so you do not have to travel very far because you could be going all over... Make sure you have permanent work so you can have some form of continuity with service users.
