Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I work as a care assistant for a client with complex needs. I assist with all aspects of his care such as eating/drinking, dressing, personal care, toileting, social activities amongst many others.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I find the content a little boring having worked in care for a number of years and already completed the level 2 qualification.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learned a lot about complex needs of clients such as tracheostomy and ventilator care, and also how to care for a man who is paralyzed.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It was a bit unorganized at first due to changing tutors but it seems better now I have the same tutor as it is more consistent.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Minimal support but I have never gone to my employer and asked, it is easier and quicker to contact my tutor.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
My training provider is on-hand to assist when needed.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It has given me more knowledge and understanding of the importance of certain things such as legislation and helps me to understand the reasons why things are done in a certain way.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
No extra activities that I have been made aware of at the current time.

Yes
Why?
above average pay, nice care staff to work with, very supportive of each other.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to AMG Nursing and Care Services?
It is a 0 hour contract only so not ideal if you want something more permanent as the hours are not always guaranteed.
