Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role is essentially a teaching assistant in a SEND school. I support the teacher and other TA’s to provide the best education possible to children with autism. This includes managing different behaviours and supporting the children in their life at school.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my programme as the placement itself is extremely rewarding and so worth it. Also, the work is never too difficult and if I was to get stuck there are many people to reach out to for support and help.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
This apprenticeship has helped me learn how to manage my time wisely. Ive also learned many new ways of communication, behaviour management and generally more about autism through training provided by my apprenticeship and placement.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme is very well organised.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from my employer. There are many people to reach out to for support when needed.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
When you start your apprenticeship you are assigned a tutor who is always available to support with any questions you have to do with the work
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

My training helps me perform my role at placement better because it teaches me more about things I need to know to do my job, like how to safeguard, etc.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are often group teams meeting which you can chose to participate in about many different things
