Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Managing a team of support workers that work in the community with the elderly population. Coordinating new referrals and ongoing plans for each patient, liaising with other services and keeping within budgets, managing service development.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoyed it to an extent - it was helpful and thought it would help me land future roles especially in management, however I didn't get to finish the apprenticeship as another more relevant opportunity came up for me and I wasn't allowed to do the two together
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I learnt about management and leadership - whereas prior to the apprenticeship I didn't know about the theory behind all of this.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Well structured and organised
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Supportive manager but not aware of the apprenticeship in depth
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
As much support as I ask for
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I definitely feel this is true - it has taught me techniques to implement
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
None
