Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
The whole process has been so easy from start to finish. Our team had an introduction meeting with Lifetime before we commitment and they explained the course very thoroughly. Now I have started really like the way the webinars are set for the year allowing me to plan ahead, I am also able to study when I want and for how long I wan each week. The dashboard is easy to use and allows me to keep on track of every module. There is also a great tutor [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] who sends me messages and updates always promptly. Really enjoyable content making learning fun!
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I really enjoy his program, there is a mixture of videos with activities to really help you think hard about the module and subject and helps you to apply what you have learnt in a relatable way. I enjoy the videos as well they are engaging and easy to follow .

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I have learnt how scheduling ahead is so important when learning new material and how best it is to use my time when researching and learning new material. [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] has also sent me extra ideas for supporting books and links to help me along the way! I now know a few theories to better understand how to start new projects already!

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme is very well organised, there are tasks and activities that are planned to be completed in the month so this helps me to keep on track. The structure of having a tutor and webinars is engaging, encouraging and helps to keep me focused and on task every week and month
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Alot! My employer sort this course to allow me to improve on my skills and be more confident in my role. My employer allows me study time and time to attend any webinars. My tutor [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] keeps my manager updated with my progress which is lovely and she can also log in and overview my work if she wishes
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I recieve a lot of support from my training provider when working towards my qualifications. My tutor [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] is always available and is super friendly and approachable. [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] and the other people at Lifetime who did our team introduce have been really informative and have expelled any concerns or worries we once had
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
There is so much I could say here, but to summarise everything is hard! From the material of each module allowing me to think about my role a s projects as I am learning I am already applying theorises behind teams and how people communicate in my current project that I am working on
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
None

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Lifeways to a friend?
Yes
Why?
The progression at lifeways is fantastic, there is a variety if teams and support functions that are available in the same company. I have worked in 4 different functions in 8 years and have learnt so much. I am very lucky I have a supportive manager and team around me.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Lifeways?
Be honest, the work is challenging and often you do need to ask for help but if you are willing to try and are compassionate for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs and / autism then lifeways is the right place for you. It's a company with services all.over the UK so great if you move and or are a student
